Manifold off, now what?? Lol...newbie question

Agreed with all recommendations. Just be neat and take your time. If you do drop anything in the valley, stop right then and get it out. Saving it for last is a sire way to forget you dropped it in there. Also, to save a little cash, use fingernail polish remover. It has acetone, is liquid without aerosol, and has acetone. Great cleaner.

Great point on the nail polish remover. You could also buy acetone at your local hardware store.
