I used an ultra sonic cleaner. Honestly its been the most usually part I've purchased since maybe a ratchet lol. Its make cleaning bolts, latches, really anything a put it in the box set the time and temp and come back to a new looking part.

I just used The purple stuff and some 0000 steel wool. it was covered in over Spray at least 4 times!

All new rivets after total teardown and A total re-grease for another 50 years! At least I hope!
