Removing hardened, goopy grease from BB cups?
Wow! I have an old bottom bracket that I'm working on rebuilding and I can't seem to get the old, gooped up grease out of it. The stuff is hardened and nasty. Simple Green isn't putting a dent in it.
What should I use to soften and remove the old grease? Would gasoline do the trick or should I consider something else?
Thanks for the input!
