bansheejoel Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Im getting ready to seal up my cases on my sled and im not sure what to use to clean the sealing surface. I used rubbing alcohol on my banshee and it seemed to work ok but seemed to leave some residue. I was thinking brake cleaner since it evaporates very quickly, what do you guys use? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Like Brandon said, carb or brake cleaner! Be carefull when applying pressure with blades or cleaning pads.. Don't want to ruin that mating surface! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 yep, careful with a razor blade and then maybe some parts cleaner. make sure you use an air hose to blow all the little shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 thanks brandon No problem! I also use a razor blade to remove the gasket material, but have to be extra careful not to damage the sealing surface. Green or red scotch brite pads also work quite well, just be careful not to remove any metal (light pressure, let the pad do the work).

firebanshee Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Also when you go back together you need to make sure not to get sealer in the bolt holes otherwise when you bolt it together it will hydraulic it in the bottom of the bolt hole and could crack your case or break out the bottom of the hole.

ClimbAnyHill Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Don't use sealer on that clutch cover, not needed.. The gasket alone will do the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
