yes, but that is after the grease is dried out.
i can't imagine it will rust or water will get in if there is full of grease

sorry to revive an old thread. I noticed that it was suggested that you can replace the parts of the axle. I am wonderng where it would be possible to get a replacement shaft for the axle. I know that you can get the bearings from pug themselves but do they supply the axle shaft?
