Solvent for flushing bearings?

I have used Ronson Lighter Fluid for many years to clean/flush the bearings in my reels... Works great I use two plastic bottle caps, fill about half way and soak the bearings for about 30 minutes...

    I alcohol rinse everything after a degrease.  Bearings, carrier groups, chains, etc.  

     

    Your advice is dripping with hubris and I don't drink coffee.  

    Was nothing wrong with that!:Idontknow:  I thought it was funny, and he made his point.
