Hi all...

As I have some helth problem I haven't been able to do much lately except starting to work on the gear box and especialy the front brakes:

Sorry in advance for the blury pictures but they come from my phone as my camera died few weeks ago.

And that will be all for the day...hope to finish next WE if I can stand on my feet of course... Wink

yeah totally.

the fact that it evaporates quickly, leaves grease residues and spreads the grease out.

Hi all, thanks for the coments...
I'm not too high as I was using a mask to get protection from the smell... But if Olli or Jozef or some else know a good product the wash the greace of, I'd love to get some names cause the gear box was the easiest part... The worst is to come with the restauration of the engine that I'll start next month...
Cheers

Hi

I bought some stuff called "dégraissant moteur" at the local car supply shop.

you put it on with a brush and then powerjet wash it off with warm water.

worked quite well.

I don't know if you have Wibra, they sell Dasty, the best degreaser yet. Of course you can also buy degreaser in 5 liter cans at a local carsupply store. Or the poor mans degreaser, buy some diesel and an old brush, even cleans of bitumen (the black stuff used to protect underside of your car) if you let it soak a liitle bit .

I dont know what did you use but,
this kind a protector is worst for acetones and other solvents:
(actually better whitout)

All unhealty stuff comes trough. These are for dust.

This is for solvents, Activated carbon mask:

For grease remover you should go on car parts/accesories market
and ask for it. Its hard to find any english name for such a product.
