Cleaning bearings.

[Luke Scrase]

I bought a honey badger on bearings.After about 3 weeks of edc there is some lint stuck in the bearings.Does anyone have any advice on how to remove the lint in bearings.

Blow the pivot out with canned air if you haven't already.

If you're taking it apart to clean and lube, just wipe the (hopefully caged) bearings down with a paper towel or lint-free cloth before you reassemble.

Rubbing alcohol during disassembly is probably fine, but I've never needed it and am not positive about that. Seems like overkill for lint in any case.

I have a compressor in my garage so I use that to blow it out. WD 40 to help clean the gunk out, blow it out again and oil the bearings. I have been following this procedure for my mini grip edc for 2 years now and it’s fall open/close with no play. Never been disassembled yet.

hot water and Dawn dish soap, then dry thoroughly

Do what Daniel said to do then be sure to oil and don't be afraid to use lot's of soap and work the action back and forth a bunch while the soap is in there then rinse it out.
