I use a Heavy Duty cleaner called HDL, it's a marine bilge cleaner, you mix
with water, spray on and hose off.  I use it for Transmissions and Engine
cleaning.  The best stuff I've found.  It's caustic and it etches Aluminum
if you leave it on too long but works very well.

I just use Cleaning Solvent in my parts washer, works as well as anything
for CV Grease.

Whats a good parts cleaning fluid for a "wash tank"?

I want to clean up some CV joints to have a spare set of axelz for "instant
replacement" if needed.

The CV grease is mean stuff to wash off.

I suspect there are different fluids with different effectiveness. I have
used gasoline ((:*O kerosene, varsol, diesel, and for carbs, Methyl hydrate.


What is the fragrant stuff used by many shops?

I have a small cleaning box with a little pump and nozzle to squirt stuff
with, suitable for bearings and small parts.

Just don't want to re-invent wheels, or blow myself up.

If I was going to wash down the exterior of an 020 tranny, whats best, and
what kind of drip catcher or pan (plastic tote or kitty litter tray) would
be suitable?

Sandy
