| I know there have been lots of discussions about lubrication of the steel on the Forum. Any suggestions on a good cleaner/degreaser product for cleaning the steel before lubing it up again? |

Adam,I use Ronson lighter fluid in the yellow plastic bottle.I put some news paper under the changer and then shoot some fluid,paper towels work well.

Brake parts cleaner or boil the parts in Simple Green and water, then again in clean water.

I stripped and degreased the changer in the Emmons PP I had, twice. I used carburetor cleaner to remove the crap from the changer fingers and other parts before reassembling.
But, I would only recommend this if you are disassembling. |

| Naphtha works well, too, and it's cheap. |

| I was probably just going to go for a clean and re-lube without disassembling this time. Thanks for the suggestions guys! |
