Hey all, I'll be repacking the grease in some BB cups and hubs very shortly--and planned to soak them in a degreaser (like simple green) and thoroughly rinse out with water and quick-dry before repacking with phil wood grease.
I was reviewing a video by GCN and they recommended spraying a degreaser, followed by flushing with WD-40 and allowing it to evaporate before repacking. I'm aware that WD40 is a solvent that will quickly evaporate and leave behind a tiny film of lubricant... is it safe to simply pack in grease over the evaporated WD40 (as GCN implied), or would it be optimal to then clean out the remnants with a little dish soap and water?
The video in question:
TIA
