Refresh me on freshening up wheel bearings...

Well... as long as we agree that any solvent left on the bearing... outer race... spindle and hub even small quantities is a potential disaster.

Found this old thread...today i went to pack my new front wheel bearings in advance of doing front wheel bearings job....the grease didn't want to adhere to the bearing. I could pack it in, but on the outside of the bearing if the grease is thin and my finger rubs it, the grease wants to peel away from the bearing and it shows clean metal....do i need to spray these with brake cleaner first ??
