I needed a dial indicator where it got splashed with coolant for a few days.

Now its all sticky and the needle won't return. Can you take one of these
apart for cleaning, or do you get a pile o' parts? What would you spritz on
the inners to remove coolant residue?

Usually the back come off very easily and gives access to most
of the works without risk of "all the springs flying out".
Then you can apply cleaning slovents and lubes where it appears
needed.
