Anyone have any ideas on how to remove silicon dielectric grease from small
multipin bike connectors? I'm looking for something that I can soak the
connector in or spray on (since the pins are too small to clean directly).
Thanks for any advice.

You can get electrical cleaner in aerosol. If you spray plenty on and blow
off with an air line, it should do the job.

If this works, it would be wonderful. The general problem with many
silicon oils, greases and waxes are that they are very hard to get rid of.

I would try some real strong degreaser like CRC Industrial Cleaner
and / or special silicone remover for car paint repairs (used when the
owner has used a wax or polish with silicone).

After that, I'd use some light electric contact spray to prevent
corrosion.

Hi John:

I tried that - hasn't really worked. The cleaner doesn't really remove much
of the silicon and the pin orifices (for lack of a better word) aren't
really big enough to get into in order to clean thoroughly.

Technical Grade A Isopropyl alcohol (99.9% pure)... Not the shit you
buy at the drug store, rather the good stuff we use in the electronics
world to clean up after soldering... It's a hell of a solvent, won't
harm de-energized electronics, and dries without a residue...
