WD-40 is not a lubricant. It “lubricates” there is a huge difference. It’s only purpose is preventing rust and breaking down rust to to free seized parts and bolts. I work at a hardware store and I cannot tell you how often I have to explain that WD-40 in your door hinges is NOT a good idea. It is basically kerosene in an aerosol can.  
-end rant

Anyways sorry I’m not yelling at you I’m yelling with you. It’s not your fault. Anyways clean with mineral spirits then use compressed air to clear that out. I run my bearings dry because in 2 years I haven’t had one go bad yet. The noise doesn’t bother me I think it’s cool.
