I finally got both rear ends back together and have been driving around.  Steering is tough.  Clutches work but brakes do not.  Drained a little water and oil from each side.  Manual talks about using solvent to clean brakes and steering clutches.  What can I use as "solvent"?

First off do not leave the 3/4" pipe plugs in case bottom as oil and water drain from there 
I installed plugs , then used diesel fuel to wash clutches and brake bands , couple gallons in each side , run machine operating clutches and brakes - then park and drain cases . 
 I blocked clutch levers in pulled position to allow any fluid to drain from between plates 
Since I changed to HD11 metallic rather then fiber clutch plates have not had to wash them .  
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
