I agree with Garrett, just clean them. But also they should be fine if you only put a tiny drop of thin lube anyway.

Nothing a good cleaning can’t fix regardless. Buying some lighter fluid is much cheaper than buying all new bearings.

Also agree. But, some lighter fluids have additives that can leave gunk in your bearings. I stick to acetone. If you have a lighter fluid that you know works, that’s cool too. Speaking of, I should really get a better container to clean my bearings in.

Per @jhb8426

“ Acetone evaporates too fast, leaves a residue on the bearing as do most all quick evaporating solvents. Lighter fluid does not evaporate quickly and leaves no residue.“

Pure acetone evaporates and burns clean. I do a bit of organic chemistry and sometimes need to use acetone to isolate certain compounds and can confirm this

i heard you can use acetone and alcohol to beat thick lube but can you use it as just normal thin lube?

Neither acetone nor isopropyl alcohol have any use as a lubrication.

No worries. All that would happen is that they would evaporate.
