    They sell threadlock cleaner, or you could use a tap and die if feeling brave.

    Acetone (nail varnishes remover) will for most but you obviously need to be careful for plastics/painted surfaces. Try it on the bolts first and if that works okay then earbud it inside the tapped holes

    I use a brush either plastic or brass depending on the situation. Then white spirit followed by brake cleaner if necessary
