Sodding gasket!

Doing the clutch on the Pan, and I am *really* struggling with the
gasket on the clutch cover.

I've got it off the crankcase, but the residue on the cover is a
*bastard*. It's rock hard, and stuck like the proverbial to a blanket.
I've never known anything like it, a blade just bounces off.

Fucking stuff.

Nah, you want something a little more slippery for that.

Try Nitromors - it will soften most things

Lighter fuel (liquid not butane = benzene health warning) is also an
amazingly effective solvent.

I always used gasket removal spray such as the one in the link below.
If you leave it to soak then I found it'd remove anything I ever tried
it on.

btw, I might have something useful for your workshop sitting in my
van. Do you still waste time sweeping up swarf off the floor and
struggling to remove it from awkward little corners in your machines?

I've got a spare one and it's yours for a beer. It's obviously not a
brand new one because I'm a **** and I want the better one for myself
but it works perfectly well.

 

Must be a Honda standard. The Wing's got the same gasket on the clutch
cover, despite having been removed at least three times over the
years.

It came off almost intact, with only a small smidgeon on the engine
side. A smear of blue Hylomar, and everything's hunky dory.

Sharpen the fucker then.

<mumbles>
you can't do **** all with a blunt knife except cut yourself badly
</m>

Better still take the dremel to it.

Plastic Gasket Inna Tube, *the* proper stuff for discerning bodgers.

 

There's a spray chemical thingy for just such situations. Sorry though, I
can't remember what it's called but I've used it and it works. (Not that
that's any help mind)

It'll be on Google somewhere though.

I find bad porn has the same effect.

Tried to track some down today, couldn't get any. Acetone and elbow
grease did the job. My fucked wrist hurts. A lot.

Ooh! That looks very handy. I shall buy you beer at Chimay.

Sounds marvellous.

Wicked Uncle Nigel banged the rocks together and they said :

But it won't help clean up all that plastic swarf round the lathe

 

Bit of neat diesel should do it.

 

and if you can't get the Ambersil stuff locally Carb Cleaner often does a
decent job of taking old gasket off.

I didn't know, so I checked. I wish I hadn't bothered.
