Thanks Richard and Phil. I take it you mean kitchen type gloves Richard, which I think will work better. The problem is once you get the grease on the gloves you cant get it off but at least they wont break!
Phil some great ideas here as well. Actually the grease is not the really hard stuff but there is just loads of it. Dont worry about the bearings, as i opted to take this out with the seals etc. In fact the insides of the wheels are really not bad but I wanted to sand blast and could not cover up the hubs satisfactorily enough so took the strip down option.
I have been using paraffin ( kerosene?) as a solvent but it doesnt really dissolve the grease that well, so was wondering about petrol or something else. We have a product in the UK called GUNK which then has to be washed with water which I am not so keen on as water and bare metal rusts.
I intend on taking out the greasers and cleaning the access hole before blasting. Once done it will all get blown out with the air gun before reassembly. I would not mind but on the T16 Carrier there are 11 wheels hubs to do! thx guys
