AdRock Posted 30October, 2018 Report Share Posted 30October, 2018 So, on the weekend I was checking clearances with my bearings using plastigauge. I had read online that to remove the plastigauge you could use degreaser or brake cleaner. I found that brake cleaner worked really well, but I also noticed that it changed the colour of the bearing. At that point I realised I probably shouldn't have used brake cleaner on the bearings. Is it possible that I've stuffed the bearings? Should I shell out for another set? They actually still look fine - but I'm just being paranoid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRock Posted 30October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 30October, 2018 Funnily enough the makers of the bearings said that I shouldn't have used the brake cleaner, but couldn't tell me either way whether it would be detrimental or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
