I have the back of the horn off because I’m replacing my radiator. While it’s apart, I’m wondering if I should clean up the rotor or commutator.

Les Andrews 1-196 says you can clean the rotor with a scotch pad, if you totally disassemble the horn and put the shaft in a drill. I’d rather not take the horn apart because it kind of works. It makes a noise, but not a nice ahooga sound.

Is it possible to clean the rotor or commutator while it is still in the car?
