Has anyone used brake cleaner to clean their bearings? It doesn’t seem to harm auto parts and I have a ton of it available. Thanks.

People have used it before. I recall hearing favorable results. Worse case is you can always use something else to clean it out.

I just used some the other day and it worked great. I would recommend it to anyone. I almost asked if people used it or not as well.
