steampunkpete:
And what happens if you misjudge the time and the cloth dries out?
Does it, or could it in some circumstances:
a) B****r the bearing?
b) B****r the microwave?
c) Potentially cause a hazard?

Answers on the back of an insurance claim form please ...

awemawson:
If that happens you'll possibly get sparks between elements of the bearing that might damage the surface..

Microwaves are a great way of 'erasing' CDs and DVDs.. Pop them in for a second or two and watch the sparks fly. I used to destroy old backups that way before they went to China with the recycling. Quite dramatic to watch, and a bit smelly!

I like it, but I wouldn't want to get caught by the wife :hammer: 
I've added this tip to my toolbox.
Thanks for posting!

After melting a pair of car lights to the rack in our oven I'm banned from using kitchen appliances for workshop jobs :( I wanted to separate the lens to refurbish them. 150°c for a few mins but the thermostat was broke so it was around 250°c. I was sat waiting for the temperature light to go out and didn't notice them sagging between the bars :'(
