   Put a short length of chain inside and shake it around, then rinse and dry 
and repeat if needed. This will not get all of it but it will get a lot and 
when you install it be sure and put a good inline filter in the system and 
change often for a while. Also if you feel brave you can try some acetone as 
a cleaning agent, rinse well with water and dry well.
