Before you get it too wet, get the bb out and check its been greased/antiseized. Mine was dry from the factory but luckily I changed the bb and crankset early enough that it hadnt rusted in place.
Thanks for the tip, I Found a new Alfine crank and BB cheaper than trade on eBay so I'll swap it out as soon as it comes. I also repacked the hub with better greese after someone else who had one told me the lack of lube killed their hubs.
