As to "flush the bearings" is this soaking the stock bearings in acetone? Do the shields need to be removed from the stock bearings to perform this task?

I have gone to using CRC Electric Cleaner. I place the bearings in a small food strainer my wife gave me, insert the red tube in the spray nozzle, step outside and hose them down. This stuff is an amazing grease/oil cutter, leaves no residue and dries immediately. I do rinse a couple of minutes in lighter fluid, blow out with a keyboard blower, then oil. The process is done in minutes.
I ALWAYS clean a new reel before use. Just did a Curado 200I last night and glad I did. The bearings were packed with grease just like the other new Curado's I've had. Clean thoroughly and a small drop of yellow rocket fuel makes a night and day difference IMO.
