thanks mavveric ill give that a try i should of known that stuff removes everything off semi's, used it before years ago, when i was working out bush, if that dosnt work its break cleaner but that will probably strip the paint

the wire wheel only makes more of a mess kinda sick of oil everywhere done that before on a xa falcon not again, cheers anyhow
