Bearing cleaning methods - 06.22.2009, 10:08 PM

Nobody likes to spend more on replacing bearings, I figured I'd try a new method other than the usually film canister full of WD40. I picked up a jewelry cleaner from Harbor Freight (of all places?). This thing removes stuff I never knew was there. I had an idea that some of my wheel bearings were bad, but I didn't think I'd be seeing metal shavings coming out from around the seals.
So far I've tried water then WD40 as the cleaners and obviously the solvent works the most aggressively.
