What solvent is good for cleaning the bearings? All the ones I've found are not recommended for plastics.

Remove all the packing grease in the new bearings. Don't just wipe it off. Use a solvent to get all the grease out. Make sure to use a solvent that doesn't not damage the plastic bearing cage. Repack the bearings with a top quality wheel bearing grease. Amsoil wheel bearing grease has great specs.
Its a good idea to presoak all the nuts being removed with PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench.
