Can you have to much grease?

[Jay4200]

Brake parts cleaner (maybe similar to carb, I'm young enough never to have owned a carburated vehicle) is what I've found to be the best for grease. Your case is similar to mine when buying a used tractor, absolutely too much grease everywhere on the FEL, nothing but a greasy mess everywhere, couldn't tell how well the pins were greased.

Be careful with those solvents! Brake and carb cleaners can cause paints to wrinkle and fall off. Fuel on a rag seems the safest approach to me.

Actually, WD40 is probably the best, now that I think of it. It does just about everything. It is the ticket for removing sharpie marker, strips off overspray on stickers instantly, and is surely a decent grease smudge remover.
