Finally got the gearbox out yesterday night. Had to heat the linkage again in order to get it to separate.
It was a sorry sight. The case looked smooth because all of the cavities were full of grease, dirt, and rust.
I took it to the car wash today and pressure washed it. Then I sprayed carb cleaner on it, wire brushed it with a detailing brush, and let it soak for a while before pressure washing again.
It is still rather greasy, but clean enough for disassembly. I will remove what is left of the brakes

and repeat the process.
I would like to use the calipers for an vented rotor conversion, but I dont know yet if their condition is good enough.
