Default I need a bad *** degreaser to clean a rear end before install. Sugestions?

Im about to put a different rear end in my TA... Its pretty dirty as you can imagine. I need some serious *** degreaser/cleaner or ???? to clean it off... Ill probably sand blast it and put some coating on it that they use for them and transmissions.. (forget the name)... What would you use? The rear has nothing on it, no suspension/brakes or LCAs...

Actually a pressure washer might be your best bet. If you put the right tip on the pressure washer gun, it will take gum off of concrete. So....grease shouldnt be a problem.

Purple power, work it in with a brush, let it sit for a while then hit that bitch with a power washer!
