How do I grease these wheels? (slrpnk.net)

While not strictly a bike, it is bike adjacent. I am trying to convert an old schwinn kids bike trailer into a dog trailer.

I am hoping to be able to grease the wheels. It looks like there is a ring I need to remove.

i was searching for the name of that "snap ring" while you replied

i've finally found an image with it and it was labeled "Card-Spring-Retaining-Ring-Hole-Stopper-C-Shaped-Inner-Card-Hole-Stopper-Bearing-Positioning-Retaining-Ring-Washer" 😅

to op: be careful to choose a plastic friendly grease as i see too many plastic parts there

Haha, wow.

Hey bike company - that's a regular old snap ring!

Good point on plastic-safe lubes.
