Many thanks to both of you for your suggestions, i'll see how hot water and soap work firstly as I don't have any brake cleaner to hand.
I may be looking for a new armature though, I've just set it up in the lathe to skim the commutator and found that the shaft has one heck of a bend in it, not sure how that would have happend but the runout at the far end where the pinion operates is nearly 5mm.
Thanks again, .... Phil.
