What type of carb cleaner are you using? I believe there are two types -- a
solvent based type (Gumout) which is a blend of Xylene, Toluene, and
something else (acetone?), and there is the very caustic type that you can
sometime find in a closed pail with a basket in it at the auto repair shops.
I haven't ever seen the caustic type sold "over the counter" at the parts
store. I think it is the caustic type that will disolve the carbon and attack
the bearings.

It is the basket kind Jon. Will a bead blaster work better. JC Whitney
has a small one that might fit the rotor for $45.
