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 ?

Thanks,
Bob


Well, gasoline should ought have done the job.

I've also used spray can brake cleaner from the
auto parts store. Kerosene or diesel fuel are
hydrocarbon, but don't evaporate as fast as
gasoline. Small chance that acetone (nail polish
remover) might work.
