Thanks for that feedback. Lighter fluid is naphtha, and it'll dissolve some plastics. Between the insulation on the motor's windings and the little plastic bearing that is at the bottom of the motor's spindle, I don't know if it's safe, so I'm being cautious.

(By the way, when I cleaned my bearing well, I did it just with foam swabs, no solvent other than new clean oil. See link below. I have no connection beyond being a satisfied customer.)
