Cleaning rear sights?

[bored184]

My phoenix rear sight has not been tracking right and I think its time for a thorough deep cleaning. Has anybody dissembled their rear sight to clean it it and if so what did you use to clean it and did you lubricate anything once cleaned?

I was told to use light spindle oil to lubricate my Warner sight.

I would not take any rear sight apart unless it needs to repaired.
I clean my Warner sight's in the fall at the end of my outdoor shooting by first removing the adj. iris, I then flush the sight with lighter fluid and finish with spindle oil.
In the spring lightly blow off any excess oil.

Do not take it apart. Clean and flush, then lubricate it.
