Thepandamancan 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 With a week off in between seasons, I thought I'd clean all my equipment. I got the OUST bearing cleaner kit and was wondering if the cleaning solution was reusuable or not? It didn't come with any directions but thankfully Inline Warehouse has a how to video.

Grinder 2 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 I use brake cleaner, available anywhere with an automotive section. It's about $3 a can. Take the covers off your bearings and spray. It removes everything and evaporates quickly. One can will last for a dozen or so cleanings of a full set of bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are plenty of substances you can use to clean the bearings, just make sure the bearings are dried out before applying the oil/grease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thepandamancan 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 Follow up...I just realized the stock mission abec 5 bearings have shields I have can't be popped off. I've read elsewhere that I can remove em (for good) and just go shieldless. Is it worth the trouble or should I just buy new bearings now. They definitely need some lubrication.
