G'day Chris
Worked beautifully. Perfectly clean bearings and not much mess.
With a photo it will be a page in our next magazine.

Do you have a compressor with a degreasing gun?
Looks like a paint gun, but usually has a longer wand, round nozzle.
If you do, then find a narrow neck plastic bottle or 3, (e.g. Approx soft
drink bottle around 375 ml or so), making sure the bearing fits flat, face
down, in the body of the bottle. then cut the bottle about half way down the
height of the plastic bottle, put the degreaser nozzle into the neck of the
bottle, race tape the bottle neck to the degreaser wand, put the brg in your
parts washer, having filled the degreaser gun, put the coke bottle shroud
over the bearing - and fire up the compressor....
Just squeeze the degreaser trigger.....
Works for me....
