Alfista:

What method do you use to clean threaded fasteners? I am concerned with removing dried loctite and other material that the parts washer sometimes leaves behind. Or do you have a super duper parts washer procedure to share?

I am currently using either cold Stoddard solvent or hot aqueous parts washers (sometimes both) and a "wire wheel" on the bench grinder. Oh and a pick too.

I am going to replace my worn wire wheel soon and am considering something less aggressive. This partly to reduce flying bolts as well as to preserve precious Alfa fasteners. I am considering a fine carbon steel wire vs Tampico - McMaster Carr style.

I wont even ask about preventing flying bolts. It only happens when the wife's car is garaged anyway.
