Starter CleaninG

[Tim Nagy <nagy@duq.edu>]

            In prep for "dropping" my engine, I pulled off the starter.
Boy, was it
            covered in crud! Easy enough, scrape off the heavy stuff,
then clean
            with de-greaser. 

            But, I opened it up(why not?). Inside I found it to be
relatively clean,
            with the exception of some "greasy dust". 

            How should I clean this. Can I just use degreaser and a
tooth brush.
            Then rinse really well with water adn let it air dry for a
couple days? 

            Thanks, 

            Tim
