Praise the minor victories.   ;D, and yes, that was a good save.

When I removed my P15 door looks a couple of years ago I put them in a coffee can with at this point an unknown solvent.  They were a little gummed up and I was thinking I would soak them for awhile.  Unfortunately they stayed in the coffee can for probably 3 or more years.  Oh well.., I forgot all about them.   When I unearth them to install back in the car they were covered with a stinky green past like oxidation caused by the dissimilar metals of bronze, brass, steel, and stainless.   I thought I was screwed.  I couldn?t even get the key to go inside the locks.  Well I soaked them in WD40 but no big help.  I removed the top pin cover and removed all the pins, top, bottom, & springs.  Took the locks to work and put them in an ultrasonic bath along with all the piece parts for about 2 hours and then blew them out with high pressure air.  

I reassembled the pins and springs and now my door locks are back to working order.   Just thought I would share my stupidity and a good save.
