I cleaned and degreased the wheels, swing arm, and rear drive. The wheels and rear drive weren't so bad, but the swing arm was a lot of work. Externally, there was a lot of really crusty material that was hard to remove. Internally, I cleaned out a *huge* amount of what appeared to be anti-seize (silver in color, felt like anti-seize). It had settled along the entire length of the bottom of the drive shaft tube and was about an inch wide and probably an 18 inch thick. Some was also up in the ujoint area as well as in the rear drive. I have no idea why anyone would ever put anti-seize in there. What a mess.
