Hi

There are a variety of things you can spray out the gear system with.  
The problem is that some of them are illegal these days. Other things  
have problems with electronic components.

If you really want to try "far out" get a spray can of "plastic  
compatible"  Gun Scrubber. It definitely removes grease and gunk. I  
have no idea what it will do to the components ....

Kerosene or ethanol are safe for just about everything. They are both  
fairly easy to find. They won't pull out as much "stuff" but they are  
known safe.

What ever you do, blow out the system with compressed air once you are  
done.

The problem with all of these is that now you have all of the lube out  
of the gears, and you are left with the sand and grit. Nothing is  
going to spray grit out from between the split gears.
