Cleaning out can sensor crap

What have you used to clean the melted goo out of the cam sensor area? This is what I need to do next. Thanks.

Yea I bought a new one. The picture is of the **** inside the cone from the old one. I was wondering what to use to clean it out without causing any other issues before installing the new one. I guess I'll try the standard brake cleaner-carb cleaner-WD40-gasoline-buck knife trick .
Updates to follow.

Got it sorted. Knife to scrap and pb blaster to clean. The old paper gasket was jizzed up so I cut one out of some rubber roofing material. It might hold until I can get something else to make one out of.
I had seen a tip about cutting off an Allen key so I wouldn't have to remove the pipes and did that. Worked like it should.

I might have a real gasket laying around if you want it.

take a turkey baster or mini vac an suck the MC dry then pull the brake line at the caliber an drain the line. Then maybe fill the mc an line with alcohol like was said an let its soak then drain an repeat a few times. maybe cover the end of the brake line with your finger.
