The Flyer gimbal can be cleaned by first removing it from its post and then disassembling it.
A specialized key tool is required to open the gimbal's top cap.
After removing the top cap with the tool, the bearing and main assembly are pushed upward off the grip.
The assembly is then turned over and a sleeve that presses the bearing into its housing is unscrewed.
The bearing can then be removed for cleaning.
The cleaning process for the Flyer gimbal follows the same general approach as larger gimbal models.
A squeaking arm indicates that lubrication is needed.

The exact specifications of the key tool required are not detailed in the discussion.
No specific cleaning agents or lubricants are recommended.
The manual referenced did not contain disassembly instructions.
This information is based on comparison to larger gimbals rather than confirmed Flyer-specific documentation.
The discussion dates from 2006, so component availability may have changed.
