Loren, I found that I could get a lot of dirt and gunk out of the cylinder just by soaking it. I cleaned up two of them about 18 months ago and they still seem to be better than before.
I also used compressed air repeatedly to blow out the dirt and cleaner. Don't remember what I used for cleaner, but something like mineral spirits should do. I either used silicone spray or a light coat of white grease.
