I have a couple of Perlick forward sealing faucets and it is time to break them down and clean them. Does anyone have a good write up on this? What all do you break down, how, and what method of cleaning do you use.
Thanks!

There is an exploded diagram of the old model on page 7 here:

New model should be similar.
What I would do is this: take it all the way apart and soak everything in PBW, then rinse, then sanitize and reassemble wet with sanitizer.

I have some PBW to soak the parts in, once that is done and rinsed, would dipping it in some iodophor be fine?
To be honest, you don't even have to take them apart. Remove the faucet from the shank, open the faucet and soak overnight in hot oxyclean. Before you remove them, work the faucet open and closed a few times and then rinse well while moving the faucet open and closed.
Iodophor is a sanitizer and not a cleaner. Oxyclean will clean the grud - iodophor or starsan will sanitize the faucet.

I take everything apart that will come apart and soak it overnite in PBW.
