Hello,

Trying to get the gunk and dried up grease out of motor bearings.
Unit is eons old, and armature won't turn easily anymore.

Tried Liquid Wrench, and also soaking in gasoline.

Neither seems to dissolve the stuff.


Is the race actually *visible*? Many bearings are *sealed*.

Consider simply replacing the bearing? (what's it in?)

Ditto, for all the trouble cleaning it and not a guarantee it'll
last. I'd just get new set of bearigs.
