About to clean up all the connections before I put loom back on  the bike.

don't want to put a dirty loom back on a freshly powder coated frame

How do you guys clean up the crimped on plastic covers( or remove ) to get to connectors inside and also get the male  and female blade connectors  from inside the block connectors out to clean ?

thanks

I use a ceramic nail file that has been ground down in width to fit the female spade connectors.  It works OK on the males too.  I use a .177 caliber rifle brush chucked in a cordless drill to clean the female bullet connectors and sandpaper to clean the males.  Its a good cold beer project you can take your time on.  I blow them out with air after the abrasive work and rinse with contact cleaner.  I then crimp the females closed for a snug fit.  ++++1 on removing them from the block connectors.  Its a little difficult until you get the hang of how to release the locking catch for them.

My connectors were a hundred times worse than those pictured. I cleaned them with vinegar and a toothbrush without taking them apart.
