[Healeys] Oil Degreasers

[michael.salter at gmail.com]

I just finished doing exactly that job on a rear end and steering box.

I use brake clean for final degreasing but one important detail.

Keep applying the brake clean until it runs off the bottom of the part CLEAR. It took 1 full cans to degrease these 2 items.

I then wipe off as much as I can will a clean cloth.

Agree with Alan, but follow-up with a 'pre-paint prep' similar to

I haven't used the Eastwood stuff, but got something similar at
      the local auto paint store (in California).

      Carb or Brake Cleaner will do the trick and isn't
        necessarily banned in California.  I think some brake cleaners
        are banned but I'm pretty sure you can still get carb cleaner in
        CA.

                Guys,
                    
                  A while back I had my differential sand blasted.  It's
                  already done, so let's move on to the problem.  The
                  weeks following the sand blasting, I could not get to
                  painting it yet.  Now, oil has spread from the drain
                  plug, all over the bottom of the pumpkin.  The sand
                  blasting did not help things and makes the oil removal
                  a problem.  What is the best product to remove any
                  trace of this oil so I can paint my diff?  Remember, I
                  am in California where anything that works or is
                  effective is probably banned.
