clutch and oil filter

Some brake cleaners and the citrus based degreaser will remove silicone. Hope this helps.

What kind of RTV are using and how do u get it off?  I would never put RTV on aluminum, but I just have a gasket scraper to clean it off with.  One always removes some metal no matter how careful. What is the secret here?  I have a valve cover to do on my car and wnat to put on RTV to insure a seal, but removal?

i have an anlge die grinder with a rubber bristle thing on it i had to buy it when a was working at a garge but if your going to use it once of twice spending over $100 is just nuts

the diesel rtv i was getting from the ford dealer works really good its for the oil pan on the older 7.3l diesel engines.

this one is under 60 and IR makes really good tools

these are the things you use for aluminum and you will need a rol loc arbor or 3m makes it you can get at walmart for an other $14
