I use a stub axle from a Toyota for the Azimuth bearing. When it came time to clean it I soaked the bearing, bushes, etc in kerosene overnight. With gloved hands I then wiped off all the old grease and continued to clean it off with WD 40 until no residue was left on any components. A fresh pair of gloves and I repacked with marine, (waterproof), bearing grease, just enough to cover the metal and a light smear on the bushes, etc.
Cheers!
