Where does one find this, I called Home depot, Ace hardware and checker auto parts.
I read its the best way to remove stubborn LIM gaskets, I have a drill but no dremmel...
Thanx! Any ideas would really help!

 

Go to your auto parts store, and pick up some 3M scoth-brite type gasket removal pads (hopefully you have a pneumatic die-grinder of some sort). they're kinda orange-ish in color (colors denote "roughness"), about 2" in diameter (although different sizes can be had, the smaller ones are easier to use for gasket removal)...

Oh, just read the "I have a drill" part...That sucks...You could find a chuck adapter to handle the "thread" connections of the pads, it would be well worth your while...

 

I just spent about 90 mins with a hairdryer and a razor blade (carefully!) , it worked well but there are still lil spots here and there that I dont wanna etch on with the blade...

Chuck adapter? will the auto part store have that too? Or is that a homedepot thing.... I am probably gonna run up there later to get some oil injector block bolts...

 

Yeh, the auto parts store should have them...Once you find the round pads I'm talking about, look at the "attach feature" on them, it'll be like a threaded screw type, but you only turn it like 1/2 turn to lock it down, then ask the guy to find an adapter for you so you can run it in a normal drill chuck- they should have something that should work...

Do you have an air compressor? If you do any work at all on the car beyond oil changes, you should have one...That 90 degree die grinder thingy comes in handy on a whole lots of things, not just as a gasket remover

 

I have plans to hopefully buy a home next year with at least a two car garage for both my RXs, at that point I will probably get all that big stuff... Compressor/PowerWasher and the lovely ever useful shopvac!
Thanx!

 

Autozone carries them in their body section (don't blink as its like 1/2 of one shelf)

By the way, isn't Jessie James a sell out for doing Autozone commericals. The store by us should be called Ricezone.

 

not trying to hijack your thread... yes he is a sell out, but if they offered you money to show your face in commercial wouldn't you do it???

I know I would, more mods for the 7

 

why, exactly, can't you use a brass wire brush from dollarama?

 

Hijack away my friends! My gasket is almost completly gone! Thx Everyone!
