The wires are coated in varnish. I used a tooth brush and some 409 to clean that up.

The wires are fairly thin, however i'm talking about the stator housing; the ring which holds all the wires where they are. I haven't put it to the brush, but about the only thing i could think of that might work reasonably well would be a dremal tool and patience.

Even then I'm hesitant as I don't know if I would have to repaint it or not. If I have to repaint it, i'd prefer not to touch it beyond what I've already done.
