one thing i'd ad -

I use break cleaner - it'll evaporate long before it ever causes an fire trouble.

But - I also like to scrape out the area between the copper pads on the commutator. (if you've got it all apart anyways).

Those little slots usually get filled with non-conductive crud - but sometimes when something goes wrong in a motor like that, it can kick up a lot of copper dust and that also gets packed in there.

Just use a toothpick or something to clean the grooves so you're sure that each "pad" is electrically isolated.
