Bont Bearing Cleaner.
This is a cool tool for cleaning bearings. The end spins the bearings in any liquid "mineral spirits the best" . The dirt and grim spin out, without dirty liquid coming back in. Just place the bearing at the end of tool, dip into liquid, then spin by pushing button on top. Takes 4 AA batteries, not included. make sure you dip into liquid far enough for the wholes to be submerged.
Race TIP: Bearings are very expensive and cleaning dirty bearing is now very easy. All you need is this tool, 4 AA batteries and cleaner. The cleaner can be Citrus cleaner, or the best is mineral sprits at your hardware store "about $4per gallon". Most bearings have one side that is open, but if yours are closed on both sides, try to removing the dust shield on one side of the bearing, this way the dirt will come out. No need to replace the shield if you removed it, just leave that side open, place open side toward inside of wheel. No need to take ball bearings out of the bearing itself. Let dry, then lube with Ninja lube or TK jell.
