You could remove the gear oil with something like this Topsider Fluid Extractor.
Personally want to look at the condition of the gears and get all the lube out.
You're right, taking a look at the gears and cleaning out any excess material, and looking for shavings are definitely worth while. But for some who don't want the mess vacuuming out the fluid can work too.
