    Over the years I have also found that coca cola in a bowl will clean the circuit board very wel. Rinse in clean water, let it dry and use dielectric grease.

    Well, school has started. So my time to play in the shop is growing is growing scarce. Made good progress today. I am trying very hard while sanding to not get down to metal. Moderate success… but finished the rough sanding of both doors, removed both doors and finished priming the brush guard.

    Missed some pics… The paint from Rapcoparts works great. Not a bad job I think for rattlecans.

    Thanks for the input. I agree with you. For now, i will change the hoses and bleed the system. I will have the rotors turned and new pads( there is a squeal when braking.

    The weather here is not good today. But, at the next opportunity will be looking at all of the suspension connecting points to look for loose or broken items. The change in direction is significant enough to have to make steering corrections both when apply throttle and releasing throttle.

    Hello all, Today I tried paint remover. Mixed results… It did soften the red paint. Still a real pain to scrape it off. Still mostly impressed with the gator sanding wheel on the sidegrinder.
