believe you have to take 'em apart.

You could always give them a bath in solvent, and keep changing the solvent until it stays clean, and then give them a bath in oil.

Just an idea... Best option is to pull them apart.

Just wondering, which manual did you read this? I couldn't find this in Helms.
