There is no easy way that I've heard of.

Heat gun and scraper...wire wheel...wax/grease remover.

Anyone else?

Paint stripper?  I used some stuff a long time ago that made it real gooey and you could wipe it off, but it took several applications.  I don't remember what it was...

I would keep it for later, you never know what you might need.  after it is running they you could chunk it.
