So, any tips on ways to get the gasket that goes between the LIM and UIM off? Part of it is coming off fine, but a lot of it seems like its glued on.
Edit: I already tried a razor, but its not working too well.

 

Anyone?

 

You use a razor. Try harder.
Sand paper.
Soften it up with gas.
wire wheel

You can scrape it to the metal with a razor so I dunno :-/

 

I had some gaskets that wouldn't come off with a razor or gasket scraper or anything. I used paint remover in spray form. Spray it on, let it sit a while, begins to bulge/bubble, remove that layer, repeat until all layers are off.

 

Get a copper pipe, flatten one end of it, and grind the flattened end sharp. The copper is softer than aluminum so it won't scratch the manifold and it is very hard gouge the aluminum with it.

Alrighty, I'll try to soften it up with the paint remover or something.
