Hey, it's not *that* bad.  Unless my memory is completely shot (a
possibility, I admit) a pair of nitrile gloves, a couple of
quart-size baggies with rubber bands to slip over the exposed
joints,  some of those nice blue Scot shop towels, a can or two of
Brakleen and a big coffee can with some mineral spirits will see you
right.  I've never ruined a set of (shop) clothes doing it, or
covered the neighborhood in grease,or gotten filthy beyond the usual
filthiness attendant on working with waterboxers.
