I've got a bottom bracket that needs fresh grease, but wondering what the absolute best thing is to flush it of the existing, I'd like to have is sparkling clean first before I put new stuff in.

Normally I'd leave it in white spirit, but I cannot remove this BB due to an adapter that's in there which would mean its a huge ball ache, so I'm going to need to spray something in rather than take it out..

Any thoughts before I head down to Esso to get some diesel?

Thanks all. Electrical cleaner sounds possible.

Brake cleaner is also a good shout.
