Clean the old grease off with isopropyl alcohol (with good ventilation): The 91% stuff is an excellent degreaser. That and a toothbrush will make short work of it.

WD40 also works as a very good degreaser. I'll second wearing gloves instead, but if that's not an option, most workshops have WD40 lying around.

423 has a tube of white lithium grease that we used to grease all our gearboxes. Some of those gearboxes were AndyMark gearboxes with Strawberry Jam grease still in them (some also had a green grease I can't identify). As far as I know, we never saw any reactions or interactions between the two (or three) greases.
Students can learn to drive on whatever they give us.
