Another excellent degreaser is Simple Green, both the household use stuff and the stuff meant for vehicle. Dilute it to the proper concentration, and the stuff works amazing. Just make sure you wash it all off afterwards, like with any degreaser.

Good to hear your rear main/oil pan gasket replacement went well and stopped your leakage. I recently did this as well, it wasn't all that bad actually. Only problem is that now I'm still leaking oil, and I also replaced the valve cover gasket at the same time! It's comin from the oil filter adapter now, lol. Maybe someday I'll have all these leaks fixed up... I'm sure as soon as I get it to stop leaking oil it'll start leaking ATF or something though, gotta love a Jeep, haha.
