    Cleaning Linear rails and bearing blocks

    Hellow again folks....I have another question.

    I just received my first set of linear rails and bearing blocks. It's a Rexroth Linear Motion system (eBay find). They were removed from a working system and were only wiped clean. There is a lot of great and gunk all around the blocks.

    Can I removed the blocks from the rails without letting the bearings loose?

    Should I use a solvent to clean them or something line WD40?

    If I can remove the blocks should I soak them in cleaner and then what do I grease them with?

    I've tried to "Google" this but I am obviously looking up incorrect terms or something....
