Re: Removing rubber

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.

That idea is win.

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

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.

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

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

worked for me when i did this before. i dont know why i didnt say something a month ago when you brought this up
