★ TOP 5 WAYS TO REMOVE STUBBORN GASKETS!!!

[@videoworks7731]

Brake fluid works well ...if the gasket area can be heated a little then add the brake fluid...leave for 15 mins then scrape off

[@CafeRacerGarage]

thank you mate

[@ubuntumike5794]

Thanks

I've also used a purpose kept sharpening stone, on the flat areas, with oil as lubricant after the bulk has been scraped off. Keep it flat, work in circles, use the fine side of the stone unless you're real sure and careful. Does well to surface heads too but no replacement for having skimmed.

This works really well on bike parts, take one side of a decent pair of scissors and lay it flat on two of the flat surfaces which prevents it from ever gouging into the aluminum, I've also wondered if aircraft paint remover would work, I've only used it on paint but it's really strong, bubbles right up on first contact!

Probably THE most hated and annoying of jobs on any build . Not heard of the gasket spray before but I'm a scraper and blade man .I do have a large machined piece of high speed steel tooling that I use as well if it's a bit stubborn. Then a very fine grit wet n dry on a metal block to just hone anything that you cant feel or see , obviously very gently and slow . Thanks as always for showing a few options and tips to help out the budding builders.

I've got very good results and relatively quickly just by using a green scotch brite and WD 40. Obviously after removing the bulk of the gasket first. You should try this and see what you think.

Not my favorite job, however used to utilize a hot tank to remove stubborn gaskets. Back then the painted cases were slowly being introduced on new bikes. And if we wanted the painted look on motors we would paint them. ourselves. So Hot tanks worked really well.

[@NitroFox0o]

WD-40 seemed to do a good job for me.

My trusty snap on gasket scrapper is the best had it over 20 years already

[@jerrybigrig9475]

I've taken an old file.. With a decent handle ..sharpen an edge to it ..works nice ..

[@jumbroni6014]

I use a plastic credit card and hours of repeditive bordom.

[@MISTERR0BOT0]

roloc bristle disc green or yellow. or klean strip spray can and scraper

[@nick4872]

What about your vapour blaster? Will it remove gasket?

[@conmanumber1]

We have that given to use free by engine machine shop we deal with. My personal one is a carbide paint scraper.

[@siddino8602]

Instead of a sanding disc, a 3M yellow roloc works well. Theyre alot safer for machined surfaces. Thats just me though. Take with salt.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I'm wondering if you put a burl on that scraper how it would work??

[@thisisyaren]

really nice video man

[@craigcp7455]

What About spraying gasoline or so, (when there is no plastic parts) and setting it on fire till the material buns off and then wiping? Let me know

[@jameskemp5532]

Cordless impact driver with hex head stiff brass wire brush wheel works for me

[@paulshelley3770]

Instead of using a 90° di grinder with a 2-in cookie, use a Dremel with a 90° attachment and there half inch to one and a half inch cookies for a less chance of damaging the cast aluminum case.

Great vid, Mate. Looking forward to the brushed aluminum finish vid, Dan. Each spring, I try to renew the aluminum fork tubes surfaces on my HD Fatboy… it’s not fun. Hope you have some tricks and tools to share! Cheers, Mate

[@rikityrik]

Great video👍 Do you think paint stripper is about the same as the gasket stripper you had there?

[@MotoMango]

Solid tips!! 👌👌💯💯🙌🙌

[@Dustmonkeycreations]

Nice little vid mate👍🏻 Slow an steady wins the gasket race hay 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rsbharley4766]

Nice video Dan, great job and excellent info. Ride safe, Cheers

Using metal on aluminum to remove gaskets.... NO....

[@johnnynewburgh9745]

thank you

[@Motociclista760]

Die grinder with not a very course pad is the best since it won't gouge the aluminum like the metal and razor scrapers.

[@GhostSot]

I can't believe he was using metal scrappers on aluminum

[@scottschmittmusic]

Cool

[@nedlopez8281]

I drank a beer coffee, 0/10 do not try.

[@radarfubar8087]

I was about to say...your using a metal tools man. Your gonna gouge the mating surfaces and then your jus gonna make more problems for yourself...not correct way how to teach people.
