from what i see in the specs its a standard size c bearing so you should be able to clean it just like any other bearing. to remove it i suggest using a bearing removal tool. ---

Put a cloth over the bearing, and then then use pliers to take them out. Use this kind, that has a rounded gripping area that will fit around the bearing.
