Hey guys, just wondering, is there some chemical method to clean the squirrel fan?
I wont be doing any blasting, just to head off the suggestion. I want to clean the fan with some sort of chemical as i think if i go after it with a wire brush i'll break fins (which is the whole reason i got a 'new' fan to begin with) Soooo, what do you guys recommend? I found a site that said DONT use lemon juice as it blackens it. I heard some 'no scrub' cleaner in a bath. Could I put it in the dishwasher after I remove the pulley? Thanks guys! |

thanks for all the input guys, I cleaned it with a combo of simple green, soap & water, brake cleaner, pot brush, toothbrush and compressed air. It took forever but it's clean!
I painted with self etch and covered with 'aluminum' engine enamel. I stripped the rust off the pulley after taking it off. A little tip, the pulley screws use the same tool that the CV joint bolts do. Glad I had one! I used a wire wheel on that and etched/flat blacked the pulley. Put it all together and it looks FABULOUS! Thanks for the help guys!! |
