Ed,

Get some Hoppe's #9 gun cleaning solvent.  This stuff will
really loosen up nasty stuff.  Should have it at Kmart or a
gun shop.  Swab on with a Q-tip and wait a few hours.

Thanks for the tip, Bill.

    The WD-40 worked ok on the front rotor seals, but the rear rotor seals
seem to be stuck harder.  So I'll try some of Hoppe's#9 if the overnight
soaking in WD-40 did not free them.
