LGB track, removing joiner and clean track joint in preparation for Split Jaws..

Hi all,
Finally going outdoors, my LGB track is a variety of ages and some are oxidized. Cleaning/polishing the rails is self explanatory and manageable, what I'm wondering is what about the actual joiner attached to the track rail? I'm concerned about the "inside" of the joiners and how to clean that area, and I guess I would need to clean the side of the rails where the joiners would slide against. Would it be better to replace all the joiners? I was planning on using the SplitJaw over rail... as I write this I'm now thinking maybe remove all the joiners and use standard on rail joiners not over joiner would be best?

Additionally, what is the best method to remove and or replace the LGB joiners? They have that tab bent downwards and the tie tab preventing it from coming out?

Thanks
 
::) To successfully remove an LGB rail joiner, you realisticaly need to take the piece of track out from the layout. Flip it over, and you will see a 'dimple' on the bottom of the joiner. This effectively stops the rail from sliding. You need to drill through the dimple part of the joiner, so that the rail is then free to slide along in the sleeper base. Do that, and the whole joiner will then just lift out. Removing joiners from turnouts is not so simple though.
