I have just picked up an FB which has the original 40 years of caked on hard grease all over the tie rod ends/ kingpins/ gearbox, etc. This is my 20th? car which I have done, but the cleaning of the front end never gets any easier. It's slways bags of fun armed with a screwdriver, some kero in a squirt bottle, & safety specs, trying to clean off 3/4" of hard grease.
Please share your secrets for getting this job done. I have heard of all manner of brews which people have used, but they all require heaps of elbow grease as well.

Re: Gunk removal
Maybe one of those new fang dangled car washes also offer steam cleaning? Haven't tried it myself though.
