Gasoline is my solvent of choice. Just use caution, I mean it's gasoline! No smoking, don't weld right next to where your parts are soaking, blow out the fru-fru candles.
It eats right through all the crud and old grease with no problems. I usually soak for 24 hours and rarely need to scrub at all.

don't use gas,, thats like using a #12 sledge hammer to crack walnuts, not to mention 2 gallons of gas will level your house if it gets set off right.. :roll: if all you got is the gas station, use diesel, it works just as good and is far less dangerous..
this is my main grease cutter,
or laundry detergent..

It's potent. I mix 50/50 with water and let the stuff sit for a while. Dilute more if the items are painted and you care about the paint. My XTR rear derailleur had an "interesting" pattern on it when I pulled it out. Oops!
Way cheaper and maybe even more effective than simple green.
