packed graphite

[blockhead]

Has anyone found a way to remove packed graphite in the
wheel bores without removing the axles and wheels from
the car body ?
Do you think trying to flush out with denatured alcohol
and blowing out with compressed air would make matters
worst ?

I read a old thread with pictures on Derby Talk about this. The guy had built up graphite or packed it in until it made a bearing. Sounded good in theory but my luck would have the graphite breaking loose and slowing the car down.

i would try the air with a blow gun you can control if you do not want to remove the axles but I would mark them and disassemble it personaly.
