Removing rubber
 

What is the best way to get rubber out of an old mount.

I'm trying the whole manual force thing, but I'm thinking some raw fire could do a bit better job than I could.

yeah burn that ---- out is the best was

torch FTW! or Just buy a new mount

Re: Removing rubber
 

buying is out of the question.


I have 8 inches of rock hard Delrin waiting and ready to slide in some pipe.

It's either make new, or cut up my old ones, and I just ordered some steel to make new.

why not just fill that bitch with window weld

Re: Removing rubber
 

I did that and it sucked. The mount had been sitting on my desk for like 4 months and I pealed the window weld out and it was still wet on the inside. Plus all of my other mounts are shot and it's either buy new mounts at 30 something a piece, or make some.

dont be a bitch. use hockey pucks for the filler of the mounts. also i think its phill stubbs or weir that can get a hold of polyurethane filer custom cut to go into mounts to take place of the factory rubber and not just inserts. i will try to find the thread about it

^-^

ok i looked around for the thread, but could not find it at all. it was some noob asking about how to make custom mounts and either phill stubbs or weir offered to make him solid inserts that replaces the rubber for his factory mounts out of 101a or 95a urethane. i think it was stubbs that offered it.

I have a 3" dia 8" long rod of delrin. I can cut it and drill holes in it. I don't need to pay them to do that for me :P

I'm of the opinion heating metal unnecessarily is not a great idea. I'd personally remove as much as I could by other means and burn off the remaining ---- that wouldn't come out.

Gotta do it in sections / layers. Do alittle bit and toss it in an oven on 180-200*F for an hour. Do another layer, repeate. I had the same problem trying to do an engine torque seal years back.

i have also used jb quick weld a few times bout 4 tubes of that ---- let it set for a few hours and that ---- was solid as a cock i mean rock made the whole car vibrate

Re: Removing rubber
 

That idea is win.

Window weld is not solid enough for my tastes any polyurethane inserts are homo.

Re: Removing rubber
 

do you use that line often?

Re: Removing rubber
 

heat the center pin with a torch and twist it with vice grips to break it loose and pull it from the rubber. Using a lot of spray lube cut through the rubber and sleeve with a hacksaw, 2 cuts 90* apart. Chisel out the segment, and the rest will follow easily.

get a THIN bandsaw blade. work it around like cutting the cap off of a pumpkin during halloween.
