1-3-2-4 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have this CRC throttle body & air-intake cleaner can it be used to clean off the surface of a flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It would probably cut the grease pretty well but it will leave a residue. You need something that dries without an oil film left behind. Brake cleaner works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Since I got a little paranoid I went ahead and washed it in soap and water really well.. Just sitting in the box now I wont install it until Monday or Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eulogious Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Soap sometimes will leave a residue. I would rinse it off with some 99% rubbing alcohol or brake cleaner or something that evaporates and leaves no residue. You should probably be fine, but I always rinse everything that might be picky to residues off in alcohol to make sure there is no residue. Let us know how it goes!

1-3-2-4 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have to go to the auto store today to get a 18 in long extension so I will be picking up some brake cleaner anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 brake cleaner does work best for sure. If you do use something else, ie- carb cleaner, soap'n'water...that's fine, but wipe it down with rubbing alcohol after to remove any residue. it's cheap, and works good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
