whitetrashrocknroll Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 i was thinking i could dissasemble them and soak it in a solution of something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 The lighter fluid or naptha method as suggested seems to work the best. You can get a large amount at a camping store as naptha is used in camp stoves and lanterns. You can pre soak the bridge in a bottle (glass only) for awhile, then take out and use a toothbrush to clean. Then re-soak with a little oil in the naptha to help lubricate the parts, then you can try taking all the parts off and clean them. (I'm assuming you may have rusted and corroded parts that won't budge). after you're done, put it back together and lubricate. WD-40 works well on it (just a little).
