Mineral spirits is a good solvent, it has cleaned everything I can fit in my parts washer solvent tank.

Or I use plain diesel fuel in a bucket and a clean paint brush to clean my wheel bearings and other greasy parts. Along with wearing disposable nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight box of 100. :)

The mechanic who taught me, said to use a cleaning solution that will evaporate and leave the bearing dry before adding grease... diesel, gas & paint thinner will leave a slight oily film that can thin the grease over time. Many different ideas and techniques out there...
