There are no seals on the Mill's spindle bearings. There are two dust covers or shields around each bearing. The right inner one has a notch cut in it so that you can pull the spindle out with the Woodruff key in place. The lube system on all of the Atlas machines is what's known as a total loss system. You shouldn't use grease on any of the Atlas spindle bearings. The only way to renew it is by pulling the spindles, which is a fair amount of work. And once you've put grease in them, the grease will usually block proper oil flow.
There are in this one. Now. Look at the beginning of the post for details.
