Flushing Penn knobs with nipples

[Phil M.]

Have a Penn 716 greenie and would like to know if anyone knows and efficient way to flush-out the knob and shaft. Thanks.

Very warm water & Dawn mixture, then some mineral spirits to soften any residual gunk that's left over and another warm water & dawn oak works the best for me.

Thank you, Tommy. Any other ideas out there?

I suggest acetic acid 5% bath (vinegar). Anytime there is corrosion, that works pretty well. Heed the cautions on too much time, but 1 hour or less should be good.
