I used too much thin lube on my Dv888, I am now wondering how to get it off and to make it spinning fast and clean again. I have the following materials: Gas, wd-40, thin lube, and thats it. Do I need to buy something to make it work again? ---

whatever you do dont use the wd-40 unless your quick. anyways take the bearing and dip it in mineral spirits or acetone. you can get these at a hardware store or maybe kmart. ---

Just play the crap out of it and break in the lube… Embrace responsive play… its alot of fun ---

WD-40 will not harm your bearing. I’ve used it too many times. Just make sure you blow out your bearing when your done and then lube lightly. ---

Either use mineral spirits and lube again, or just keep throwing it up and down, and breaking it in all over again. but i would rather just clean it again ---

You could also take the shields off and blow air through it and get a lot of the lube out. ---

If it’s just lube, why even waste your time/bearing life cleaning it? Just play it and it will break in and perform at least twice as well as if you’d cleaned it. ---
