Here's how you degrease the XMODS bearings:

1. Wear gloves and eye protection!
2. Work in well-ventilated area!
3. Soak the bearings in STP Fuel Injector Cleaner. For best results, place the bearings in a small mesh parts tray in the container they're soaking in. The STP cleaner will dissolve the grease.
4. Towel dry the bearings and then spray each with RC motor spray.
5. Test each bearing by placing it over the tip of a pencil and spinning it. If they don't spin completely free, keep spraying them with motor cleaner. You might have to soak some in motor spray to get them perfectly free.
6. Don't add any oil and install as normal.
7. Enjoy the huge speed increase.
