The manual does recommend removing the bearings and rub collars from router bits before cleaning. Especially with degreasing cleaners, they can ruin the bearings by "degreasing" them even if they are sealed bearings.
Nice job Amy! A well made review. Thank you and Timbecon. Love the part about cleaning the blade upright at 90 degrees, we have not done that one yet. When cleaning your blade for the first time, you may want to soak it longer. But if you clean regularly, it is truly about 30 seconds. I usually give them three or four turns each side.

Would it be better to remove the bearings first in case the sealing on the bearings is damaged?
Hi Richard, great point. Yes, it's probably a good idea to remove the bearings it cant hurt.
