The kerosene is doing a fine job. It may take a little longer than other cleaners but it's a known entity with no hidden surprises.
We did find it a bit disturbing that the parts laying on the table actually stuck. Some of the snap rings had to be tapped sideways to break the bond. That servo spring in the second photo didn't want to be moved either. When pulled, it leaned over to the side before popping free.
It's just nasty.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
