How to clean Bones Reds bearings for skateboard?

I have Bones Reds skateboard bearings and usually just spray WD40 on/in/around them and spin them a little and then spray again and let it dry before putting them back into my wheels and then spraying them again with WD40. Is there a proper way to deep clean/lube them? Also, any instructions on how to remove the shields (because its only one-sided red). Thanks!

To take the shields off Bones Reds, or any rubber shielded bearing, gently pry them off with a razor blade or a small pin. Be careful not to bend the shields. Take your time and work them out by prying all the way around the bearing.

To clean them, soak the bearings with the shields off in denatured alcohol for a few hours. Agitate several times during the soak. Do not use water based cleaners, they can rust your bearings. Many petroleum based cleaners can leave a film on the bearings that can attract dirt, or break down the lubricant.

Let the bearings dry and lube them with two drops of skateboard bearing lube. Replace the shields. Never use WD-40 on bearings. The lubrication properties don;t last and it leaves a dirt attracting film.
