Ball bearings, how would you flush them out?
Permalink  

6 bearings with old hard grease from the power seat actuators. Soaked in super clean for days. Then in acitone for a couple.

The old grease doesnt seem to want to dissolve.

How would you guys flush these out?

Paint thinner maybe? Just guessing but it sure seems to eat almost everything except metal.

If you don't have a solvent tank with a stiff brush..brake clean is the second best option. Spray/brush then hit with air..just cost a bit more.....
