Default Cleaning Gunk From Bearings: What To Use ?

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.

Anything better ?

Do a search for Ed's Red. It is a gun cleaning mix of something like
kerosene, auto transmission fluid, varsal, and acetone.

Just an equal mix of kerosene and ATF usually works well for clening.
