How to clean a sealed bearing.
« on: October 23, 2019, 03:34:27 PM »

I figured I would make this its own topic to make it easier to link to.

I figured out a pretty good way to clean the bearing on a sealed bearing top.

I don't recall a Jupiter tip spinning that nicely.  :)
Good tip on using compressed air to push the mineral spirits through the bearing.

Thanks guys!

If you don't have compressed air you could probably spin the tip as the spirits move through the bearing and it would be better than nothing, but the air really helps blast everything out of the way.
