Hi,
I was restoring an old jewelers vise thingy that was pretty rusty and came with two small thrust bearings (General Bearing 4451).
I messed up as I was cleaning up the rust using a scotch brite pad + wd40. It cleaned it pretty well but I managed to get some of the slurry under the cover of the bearing. It still moves but noticeably worse than before.
This is the type of the bearing:
Would anybody know if there is some way to clean it?
I didn't find online anything about if these bearings can somehow be taken apart and cleaned (similarly as ppl clean skateboard bearings) or if I can flush it with something..
Thank you!
