The fireball has a transaxle, not a bearing. I would suggest hopping over to the Yomega site and checking out the maintenance section. They should have a video on lubing transaxles and bearings.

Since the Fireball is a transaxle use vaseline/petroleum jelly. Works great.  
Do not use vaseline on ball bearing yoyos.
