I try to avoid taking my cylinders apart. When mine get gunked up I drip lighter fluid in where I can. The lighter fluid is thin enough to work itself in the help break up the gunk. I spin the cylinder to help the process along. Then more lighter fluid and thin Rem oil. Same idea -- get something in there thin enough to penetrate and loosen the gunk. Spin a few more times and gunk starts coming out. I rinse with more lighter fluid and finish with a tiny bit of oil. Seems to work fine.
