The brake cleaner is similar to the acetone. It's quite volatile and evaporates quickly. If you are using the spray cans, you'd need quite a few cans to get all the grease out from inside the rollers. It's better to let the bearing sit in a solution of some type (gasoline.....mineral spirits....kero......fuel oil) to dissolve the grease over a bit of time (1 hour or so). Agitation of the bearing and movement of the rollers will be beneficial for this.
Then use the brake cleaner to finish the job.
