yeah, or you can use some electrical contact cleaner or vehicle brake cleaner.

Cool, I got plenty of both at my work.
What's the best oil for the Bushings?

i would use something like a 3n1 oil or mineral oil. a drop of 30wt, or some kind of graphite impregnated oil. pretty much a light oil will do the trick.....

Thanks again for the help, I'll try this out as soon as I get a chance. hopefully all the grease will come out...

Great topic. Did this to 3 of my old motors today.
Pulled them apart sprayed with wd40 and cleaned with paper towels
cleaned com and brushes with a com stick and the motors run like new again.
Thanks to all who posted

Denatured alcohol will also work for a motor bath. Personally, we use brake cleaner. To be specific, we use the Auto Zone brand of brake cleaner. As for oil; our preference is Break Free.

I've been wanting to post this product. This stuff works excellent as a motor cleaner, adhesive remover, great lexan polish and lots of other cleaning tasks including your paslode framing of finish nailer.
