basically,
1. with a thin pin, poke the ball bearing cage out
2. push all the balls to one side of the bearing so it comes apart (keep track of those balls)
3. clean the outer ring, inner ring, and cage until they're nice and shiny (like chrome-shiny)
4. reassemble bearing using 5 of the 10 original balls, spacing the balls out evenly
5. do a standard bearing cleaning procedure and spin the bearings a bit to get the balls cleaned
6. dry off and oil with your choice of bearing oil
and yes, i have like, 30 extra bearing balls now.
