Has anyone ever tried taking apart the spring loaded latch to clean these up? I don't how to do a good job without disassembly. Thanks, moondog. Founder of, and reason for, the RED LIGHT RACE TEAM

One side is fixed like the head of a bolt and the other side has a hole in the pin and the head of the end cap has a protrusion that sticks in the hole. Gently pry on one end until you find which end is the one that comes apart. I use two chisels 180 apart and they pry right off.
