Cleaning bearings with an ultrasonic cleaner - 20:37 29 Dec 06 This year Santa bought me an Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner! Don't worry I'm not planning on turning into Mr T, I'm following a post by LS-Mike about a way of cleaning bearings.

I won't bother re-writing his article as he pretty much covers it all but I did want to give my comments!

I LIKE IT! it works well

It's not as good as cleaning them by hand with a toothbrush but much faster and it doesn't strip the skin off your fingers either! Probably just as good as the bearing wash bottles that you can get though.

I also took the jump to rinsing them off with water and then baking them in the oven to thoroughly dry them out before oiling them. That seemed to work really well. Had a very quiet, relaxing but fun time at Eastbourne Extreme. Oh I do like to be beside the sea side. - Twitter Status

Glad you are pleased with Santas gift..you must have been a good boy

You never know 'the team' before Le Mans maybe asking you to do their last minute bearing cleaning

I pity the fool (Mr T impression)

I\'ll NEVER post on the forums

Re:Cleaning bearings with an ultrasonic cleaner - 08:27 30 Dec 06 I've thought about this, but ultimately I quite enjoy bearing cleaning - there's something quite therapeutic about doing a repetitve task.

Sad... ! Skate Monkey !

Re:Cleaning bearings with an ultrasonic cleaner - 16:08 30 Dec 06 I think Merry is a bet merry from that post!

Lemming, your nuts!

Actually, I know what you mean about repetitive tasks but not fiddly repetitive ones!

If anyone is interested the cleaner I got was this one, VERY basic but it seemed to work! Had a very quiet, relaxing but fun time at Eastbourne Extreme. Oh I do like to be beside the sea side. - Twitter Status
