Bearing Blasters are a must have. Many never heard of them. RPM made them 20+ years back. Many just replace their BB's anyway.I use one of these to blast the crud out of the bearings....pretty effective: bearing blaster
But with a BB Blaster you can flush out way better, even the metal shielded types, using a spray solvent under pressure. You can even inject grease into them with the Blaster. It operates much like a Scale car Bearing injector works. I have both sizes.
Rubber sealed BB' still need both seals removed before using the Blaster.
Tip:
when checking for well cleaned BB's , never high speed spin any of them once cleaned and dry. This will ruin them real fast being dry. The cages get damaged as well when dry.
Just rotate by finger to check them for any slop and free spinning.
