What is the cleaning method for skateboard bearings?

Skateboard bearings can be cleaned using the following cleaning agents:

Gasoline: Gasoline is an effective cleaning agent that can dissolve oil stains and dirt. Soak the bearings in gasoline, then use a soft brush to clean any remaining 

oil stains and dirt, and finally dry them with dust-free paper.

Acetone: Acetone is also a commonly used cleaning agent, especially available in chemical stores. If acetone is not available, gasoline can be used as a substitute.

Oil remover: Mix the oil remover with water and place it in a cleaning bottle. Place the bearing in the bottle and shake it until the bearing is clean.

The cleaning steps are as follows:

Disassembly: First, the bearing needs to be removed from the skateboard and the dust cover needs to be removed.

Soak: Soak the bearing in a cleaning agent, such as gasoline or a mixture of degreasers, gently shake the bottle or soak for a period of time.

Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to clean any remaining oil stains and dirt, then dry with dust-free paper or a hair dryer.

Lubrication: After cleaning, add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil or acceleration fluid to the bearing, and then install it back onto the sliding plate.
