Hi Armando,

I did just what you are describing and it was not easy. Needed right angle screwdrivers, flex-bit adaptors, mini-vicegrip pliers and lots of time. I did eventually get it apart and cleaned and it is very satisfying to get that crap off.

I have since done my other one WITHOUT removing the pieces and this was equally difficult, primarily because you can't go wild on those parts while they are attached, and going wild is what it takes to remove that garbage. I used every solvent known to man, including some that required rubber gloves. I'm estimating each method required about 20 hours of work!!
