How to remove seam sealer

[JohnD1079]

Is there a chemical or anything you use to remove that sealer stuff that is used over the spot welds on the frame? I need to take out the 5 speed mount bracket, but I dont know how i would remove that crap. Is there an easier way other than just scraping the most you can?

you ca use a rubber insert you use with a drill, thats what I use when I fixed my car dont know whats it called but it looks like a cone with a fitting to put into a drill
and it will just rub it all of including the paint smells horrible but it gets it all off

Are talking about taking out the 5 speed transmission mount bracket. If so just drill all the spot welds with a drill. There on on each side of the bracket not on top that I can remember. Then just pry it off.

yea, thats what im talking about, but for some reason, just 2 spot welds dosent sound right to hold on the mount bracket. But there is still that silicone crap (which i beleive is called seam sealer), that covers all the edges where 2 peices of metal meet all over the engine bay.

Wire wheel bit for a drill works A1. A better one is the black sponge looking body panel rust remover bit. That's what I used on a lot of my seams along with a 1/2 wide wood chisel. The only way to get into the tight spots where a wire wheel or other bits can't go is to scrape with a trusty flathead screw driver. Or a wood chisel, as I mentioned, works better than a screw driver. That is as long as you don't care about the blade maybe getting bent or chipped.
