In order to establish just how much grease needed to be removed, the chassis keeper plate was unscrewed and the result was:

All this was tackled with a cocktail stick and some clean paper towels. Even though lots og grease was removed, there was still a plentiful layer left to lubricate all the moving parts. I thought I'd better check the top end of the transmission mechanism as well, and found this:

Back to work with the cocktail stick and paper towels.

Wash it all out with GT85. It will stop it seizing solid if left stationary for any length of time
