Agree. Lighter fluid.

No need really to worry about applying under any sort of pressure.
It comes to keeping adequate fresh solvent (lighter fluid) circulating around the elements in question, agitating the elements to the extent that debris and old lube are dislodged, and keeping up the circulation of new fluid to wash away.
Depending on the part involved, submersion & agitation works even better.

Whether Motor assembly or Spindle bearing, you can depend on Naptha / Lighter Fluid to dissolve and clean parts without overkill and without leaving anything behind.

Something else to consider is that anything, any probe or utensil, that may leave lint or shreds of cotton or any debris of it's own --- isn't worth using. So Q-Tips or paper-towel aren't high on the recommended list.

Oldschool and kinda 17th century though it may be, try a bit of lintless cotton fabric (generally there's a 'diaper' material avail in bulk as "shop towel") and wrap it up as a soft wadding around a clean, dust-free stick.
Bamboo shishkabob or chopstick is perfect, and you get to feel like you're loading an ancient Musket at Gettysburg or something.
No remaining debris, a stiff spined cleaning utensil to scrub away with is all you need.
And some lighter fluid.

Good luck,

J.
