Yeah, a lift does help with cleaning in areas normally hard to get to.
Plus I wound up replacing all four hubs, so I had opportunities to REALLY clean it up in those areas with it all taken apart.
BTW. I weighed the sand I vacuumed out around the rear brake cooling vents. Nearly 10 pounds....
When I lifted up the vacuum to put it away I nearly fell over top of it not expecting it to be that heavy.
