Taking it out, clean and repackaging it with grease, or if you don't have the means to do this leave as it is. GT85 will flush out the remaining grease, you'll get a few rides maybe but after that it will corrode very quickly.
TL,DR don't spray GT85 on bearings, use it only to unstuck the thing and repack it with more grease.

That’s kind of what I meant. I was more advising not to get involved in taking a bottom bracket apart unless needing to. Unseizing it if frozen with something to just get it moving again or leave it alone.
If you’ve tried fixing stuck bottom brackets I’m sure you would agree it would put anyone off doing anymore and kill a project off pretty quickly if they can’t get any further. If it all comes apart that’s fine but in my experience, they rarely do just come off, even with the right tools.
Only meant spray gt85 in the to free it off if it’s seized up as a cheap quick fix on something he appears to want to keep as a cheap build.
Bottom brackets are the last job you want to just take apart and rebuild if you don’t work on bikes normally. There’s nothing I won’t fix on a bike including welding frames up and stuck seatposts but bottom brackets are the lowest on the list of things I want to tackle as they’re often nothing but trouble.
Out of interest, how would you go about sorting it out?
