They’re fairly easy to clean them without that bones kit. Especially if it’s just one. I guess whether it’s worth cleaning or replacing depends on how good the bearing is and how knackered it is.
I’ve used rubbing alcohol to clean and sewing machine oil to lubricate, with good results.

I've cleaned bearings before, it's not too difficult. Worth a shot if you have some cleaning solvent around already and some grease. However, if they're from cheap completes, they might not be worth saving and some reasonable quality bearings can be had for not a lot.

Does anyone have experience with the bones bearing cleaning unit or cleaning bearings in general?
Our son’s skateboard has a bad bearing and I’m wondering whether I should replace the bearings or clean the current bearings and apply lube. Personally I rather fix stuff than buy new, but only if it is worth it.
Currently we have three skateboards in our household and a single kickbike. So lots of those wheel bearings which possibly need attention.
