Metal Cleaning

How do you guys clean metal that has oil on it for welding?
Like say, spider gears?
I'm pulling the gears and don't have access to solvent tank or anything.
So I need something off the shelf.
Degreaser?
I've read that brake parts cleaner can mess up your nervous system if burned from welding. What if something is cleaned with brake parts cleaner & left to dry for many days?
Starting to feel comfortable with the welder & almost ready to weld those up so any tips on this would be great!
I want to heat up the carrier before I do it but don't want to use my kitchen stove, thinking of using my Weber Grill. Watcha think? Anybody tried it? Can I leave the bearings on the carrier? I'd let the coals burn down a bit before putting it in.
