Hey, so my ichiba front hubs have been sitting in there styrofoam casings in the box for awhile now, and the inside sleeves on one of them came off. As a result, there's styrofoam pieces EVERYwhere inside, and all over the ball bearings. I tried cleaning most of them out with paper towels n tweezers, but some of them went inbetween the bearings and i cannot get them out. How would you suggest cleaning them? Do i have to take out each bearing? the lubricant is super thick, and i'm not sure what to do. I'm going to get my oem bearings pressed in, so will this even matter? I tried searching on here and google, so please discuss :-)
