Things You'll Need:
- Shop rag
- Metal bucket or pan
- Spray-on solvent
-
Step 1
Remove the wheel bearings from your wheel hub and rub each individually with a shop rag to remove excess and old grease.
-
Step 2
Work the rag into the crevices of the bearings to try to get as much grease as you can.
-
Step 3
Place the wheel bearings in a bucket or a pan that can hold strong solvent.
-
Step 4
Spray some solvent on the bearing to help cut the grease that you might have missed with the rag. Make sure it's a strong solvent that will eat through any stuck-on grease.
-
Step 5
Allow the wheel bearings to sit in the solvent until all the grease has been cut away.
-
Step 6
Let the wheel bearings air dry for about 10 minutes or until the solvent evaporates.
