Suddenly I'm hungry.

Not worth posting a picture of my transmission crossmember, just a cleaning idea. I didn't want to remove the rivets, and without doing so they're a bear to clean, baked on transmission fluid and such. Anyway, after some effort I found it was going nowhere. So I soaked both ends in a bucket of boiling water, with a splash of grease remover on occasion. It still required pipe brushes, but came off easily and clean as a whistle.
