What's your budget? Taking it to a shop and having it all hot tanked would be ideal... but if you're looking for the cheap alternative, go buy a can of parts cleaner - it's basically large coffee-can type container full of solvents that you dip smaller parts into and let soak.

I thought having a group of 3 or more friends, holding hands and singing Koom-by-ah worked the best?
