If its a rubber seal, then it should come right off with a xacto. If its a metal seal, then you'll need to take a small screwdriver and pry it off.

Yes, then take the blue seal off with the xacto...

Mr. Sean

. . . . . what would you guys use to clean a bearing? some says Kerosene (gas), motor spray, WD40, etc.... but what would be the good chemical to use?

your expertise on this matter is appreciated

to clean them the best i use motor spray.

try this> take off the seals (if possible) on both sides of your bearing. then i use rpms bearing blaster. place the bearing inside the bearing blaster, spray out the dirt, grease ect. (only spray one direction). then i let them dry over night and put one or two drops of trinity's royal oil.

Mr. Sean

thanks buddy, i'll try that.

denatured alchohol works well on bearings for cleaning... RPM bearing blaster is a good tool for spray cleaners..
