Any suggestions as to what I can "rinse" out a diff with to get any old oil and crud out. I will be splitting it open to aid in cleaning out the original oil, but not taking the carrier etc. apart. I

A gearcase doesn't sludge up the way an engine does. The heat is less, and there are no combustion byproducts. So you don't get the gobs of goo like you find in an engines crankcase or pan. You will
