If it has O rings, I would stay with the milder solvent like mineral spirits or naptha.

A special chain brush cleaning tool is also available, which looks pretty good, but I've never used one.
Good Luck!

Warns against WD40.
Will next try nads.com's ATF suggestion, or the specialty Motul cleaner.
Good Luck!

Diesel fuel might be suitable.

Did you notice the guy spraying that stuff all over on his rear tire. BAD IDEA. When you spray your chain on the bike, place a scrap piece of cardboard behind the chain and infront of tire, covering up the tire any place you might get spray on. NEVER get any lube or cleaner on the Tire.
+1 on the piece of cardboard. I've been doing that for years. I'n addition to keeping the lube off your tires, why would you want to goo up your nicely polished rims?! :ohmy:
I swear to God, it's like I live in a trailer of common sense, and stare out the window at a tornado of stupidity.
