I use a degreaser in the can. The brand I use is LPS. U can find it at lowes or home depot in the electrical isle or by the tools. Take ur bearings out of the reel and place them in a small cup or container then spray the degreaser untill the bearings are submerged. Let them soak awhile and stir them around I use a cutip with the cotton cut off or a small screw driver something the same size as the inside of the bearing. Do this for around 15 min. Take them out and sit them on a paper towel. Just dab them untill most of the degreaser is off. When they hit the warmer air coming out of the degreaser they will sweat. Get a blow dryer and dry them off this is where a cutip comes in handy to hold them cause they get hot. After u dry and let them cool off apply ur choice of oil. Lightning lube and hot sauce are the 2 best ones. I like hot sauce that's just me. Whatever oil u use DONT put more than two drops. If u soak them in oil it will make them slow. I use one drop of hot sauce then I spin the inside of the bearing using the cutip the let it soak in. Seems like alot to do but once u get set up its really not that bad. Hope this helps.
