Motor degreaser for hub bearings

[confusedcyclist]

Can I use motor engine degreaser aerosol spray to clean old grease from hub bearings. I'm assuming it's exactly the same stuff as the muc-off branded spray? Muc-off spray is twice the price.

Just wipe it out with a rag.

I just use a rag also, degreasers are really messy , an old sock works well .

Hadn't thought of that, might be trickier with sealed cartridge bearings as apposed to the loose kind which pop out.

I wouldn't waste time trying to resurrect them, just knock out and replace.
