Have you tried Oven cleaner?


No, since oven cleaner is the amateur method for stripping anodizing. Right now I am pretty happy with the iron-removing fluid.

Unfortunately, my bottle of Iron-X was almost empty, so I only got about one-fourth the way around. More stuff ordered.


Viel besser!

Slow wins the race.

One thing I found useful in cleaning the anodized Fuchs on 911's was a mixture of white vinegar and hot water.
Not sure if that would be helpful for you on the front sides?


Slow for sure, but it works. Right now I only have 1.75 wheels still to clean.

Thanks for the vinegar tip. I will see how that works.

Got some more tools (More Tools!), to help reach all the brake system fittings without pulling the engine.

Good thing, since at least some of the fittings on the pressure regulator valve are still weeping.

Start with the flare nut crows foot wrenches.

The 11 mm on a 6 inch extension is perfect for one of the fittings on top. I was able to tighten this one quite a bit.

Then I used the 11 mm ratcheting wrench, which also has a flare nut style engagement on the other side. Also quite a bit of tightening.

I also got some hydraulic fitting sealant, as recommended by PMB. This is for the problematic fittings on the rear calipers.

Once again I took the calipers out so I can fully access the fittings on top. I removed and cleaned the hard lines, and the seat inside the caliper body.

Then a thin ring of sealant on the flare.

And then I REALLY tightened the hard line fitting.

One more thing delivered: some more hi-temp wrap, nominally for 2 inch ID.

I used a length for the bundle of cables under the engine, including clutch cable, speedo cable, and O2 sensor cable. Mostly I am worried about the O2 cable plastic plug that sits under the right cylinders. Probably being paranoid, but at least its shiny.

I connected the rear caliper lines, and then tightened all the other connections I did not get to yesterday.

I then did a quick bleed, to make sure I have fluid throughout the system. No leaks yet.

I then left the system pressurized to about 20 psi. It will sit overnight.

I splurged on a new tool cart, from Harbor Freight. I looked at quite a few, online and in person, and this seems to be the best value.

The new cart is 72" long and 22" deep. I have twice as much space as in my old cart, plus drawers that are more than long enough for big tools.
