I've always seen people clean parts with paint thinner. DO NOT use your sink, you'll have a nasty ass grease ring that will take forever to get off.

i used to use brake kleen on everything for cleaning when its something on the car and it works great good for the shop use but at home its too expensive for me to spray 2 bucks in 30 secs
. but if its something off the car solvent tanks work wonders just leave it in the tank and soak it for maybe 20 mins and take it out and damn it gets clean
