Radio Shack or some other electronics stores sell "electronics degreasers, cleaners and lubricants" in an aerosol can. The can comes with a brush to assist in dirt removal. It has been very helpful in cleaning relays, switches and bushings. -----Original Message----- From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Stubblefield Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 9:15 PM To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: IML: cleaning an alternator Hello everyone, As long as I have the alternator out of the mighty '78 NYB, I thought I should clean it up. But it seems like a bad idea to get a bunch of degreaser and pressure washer near it. Any opinions about what to use to clean the thing?
