r!!Remove all plastic and rubber dust caps, seals, etc. do not let it touch the paint either. I used some walmart brand supertech carb cleaner a while back because i didn't have anything else. it turned the hard hub plastic into spongy rubber and the seals fell apart when I touched them. Seriously, go out and get some Simple Green. I use it 10:1 when I overhaul bearings.
