Anybody know a quick, easy or maybe even safe way to get these things off?

QUOTE Yeah, I thought of that, but then I thought of how I would put it back when the car is all painted and purty and the spring is powder coated. (Hi Rusty) Hi brother. QUOTE Without gloves on I pulled'em right off. That'll work. Good job. My arms are killing me from scraping yesterday. Thanks for the brake cleaner tip. Goof Off is good stuff, but doesn't hold a candle to brake cleaner. I bought 6 cans of 3M stuff. It was on sale. -Rusty |
