Carb cleaner, etc. Brake cleaner will dry out the bearings.

If you don't have a blind hole puller for the CSB, cover the CSB and oil port and hit the case with brake cleaner after wiping with a blue towel. Drain brake cleaner out and wipe down. Repeat until you can wipe the case with a towel and not pick up any dirt.

I clean the case the same way as I do the bellhousing.

But yeah, you can use degreaser/water on any part of the case that has no bearings installed.

It doesn't hurt to clean out the bearing either- just make sure there are is no debris in the *****/races before spinning them. I like to pack them with high temp urea grease
