Did this to mine today as my LCR was hesitating under slight acceleration in 1st and 2nd around 2000-2500rpm. Worked a treat. I didnt take it off to clean it, just a squirt with some cleaner and a few cotton buds, but on the test run it didn't hesitate once.

Due to late response here, I think Youtube videos can help to solve this issue on urgent basis with practical and stet by step guideline.
