You need a mask and protection though, it will throw a lot of hot rubber all over, and some of that will stick to other surfaces. A wire wheel on a drill wont cut it.
I have read of people using a heat gun also, but no personal experience on that
liquid nitrogen or Dry ice, then shatter it. The undercoat is asphault based. The physics/ chem department at school will know where to get both cheap
The stuff I wheeled off on the outside of my 80 240 seemed like 100% vinyl rubber to me. In places in the wheel well it was over an inch thick!
Id be really surprised if the dry ice actually fractures it, that crap is unbelievably tenacious. The asphalt based insulation on the inside is a lot easier to get off than the outer coating has been my experience. Have you tried this?
We need a video of a dry ice attempt, this could be a useful tool for removing the undercoating materials.
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
