Does anyone have a video/know a video that explains how to clean bearings with mineral spirits? When I tried it my bearing didn’t get cleaned so I need to know like how long to leave it in and what to do after etc.
Really?
-
Take the clip off bearing housing with needle.
-
Take housing/cover off the bearing. Now the insides can be seen and cleaner can get to it.
-
Pour cleaning liquid into a container (glass works best, like tiny jar) and put bearing into liquid.
-
Either close the jar and shake or if no cap stir.
-
Take bearing out and spin it. Put back into solution and repeat if want to. As long as liquid gets spun through bearing a couple times it will rid it of any foreign objects.
-
Let it dry for atleast 15 minutes. Hit it with some compressed air if have it available.

Double post
Repeat or buy new bearing if still no luck.
