There's cosmoline everywhere!!! It won't come off!

We don't want you getting rusty, do we?

Also, what have you been trying to get it off with? Because water is probably a no-go.
Right now, I'm actually just wiping off the excess; but eventually I'll get around to taking this whole thing apart and maybe bathing the parts in boiling water. Despite its tendency to effectively stick to anything and everything it touches, it has a melting point of around 130 degrees. Cosmoline will melt like butter in boiling water. Getting it off the wood will be difficult though, I'm not sure what to do for that...
I don't want to inadvertently break this thing either, it's kind of really old...
