Default I need advice - cleaning JKS discos

I recently purchased a pair of used JKS front swaybar disconnects. I want to clean them up including the bushings.

Would a de-greaser, such as brake cleaner, be ok to use on the bushings to clean out the old grease prior to pumping in new grease?

thanks all.

Use diesel, not brake cleaner. Then just pump the old grease out by filling it with new.

+1 on the pumping the wold grease out with new grease. Just keep adding new grease until you see the clean grease come out.
