While you have it apart put a grease zerk in it. You can either remove inner seal from bearing or at least pack brg and put seal back. Put anti-seize or at least grease on axle where sleeve and hubs go.

You could put the zerk fitting in the middle of the carrier, near the top, sorta pointing towards the grab bar so it is easy to get a grease gun on it. I think a wire brush like dakotademon7 said is about the only way to clean out the inside. If you have a small wire cup for the end of a drill you could get to some of it on each end.
