Cleaning an Alternator

[suicideking]

My power steering pump decided to take a sh*t all over my alternator, and amazingly enough my alternator still works. I'm not taking any chances though, so while I'm repairing the P/S pump I'd like to do an alternator service to make sure everything is in order.

The problem is, I know better than to assume that your average cleaning solvents are appropriate for use in an alternator.
Can anyone suggest a good method for cleaning the internals of the alternator if they're gummed up? (methods, solvents/chemicals, etc.)

Many thanks!

Personally I would just pick up a reman one or a new HO one.

If you want to try and keep it, pick up some circuit board cleaner. Spray the crap out of it and reoil the bearings.
