Default Bearing Installation

I'm about to install a bearing in a new rear pulley. Should I use any lubricant on the pulley and bearing?
Thanks

Shouldn't need any lube, but put the bearing in the freezer for a few hours, it will shrink a little and go in easier. If you can heat the pulley in an oven for a few minutes it will expand the hole a bit.
