Use your search button. There are a ton of threads on this topic do a little searching

I second the search button, I'll give you a hint search "eazy off"

oven cleaner.... takes a while

Drano...seriously.

Easy off
 

Stay away from the foaming "No Fume" stuff. Stick to the good old cancer causing stuff. Coming from a honest to god Cancer paitent you know it must be a big difference."thumbsup"

Search the Tools And Procedures section"thumbsup"

I used oven cleaner and with in 5 seconds the green started to turn to yellow. a minute later the color was gone. What oven cleaner did you use?

Use the original Easy Off in the yellow can.

I used liquid plumber, thick. Worked great, even left the original axial printing on the links. Set it in there, keep an eye on it, stir it around a bit, wait 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water then soak in baking soda and water to neatralize the acid. Use a lil Never-Dull wadding to polish it up in like 2 minutes. Works awesome. Bling Bling

Anything with Lye. Sodium hydroxide. Neutralize and polish the aluminum with bakind soda.

Easy Of oven cleaner in the yellow can works the best.

I use Drano Crystals. its the powdered kind..... get a disposable turkey pan, put all your green parts in the pan. fill the pan up with COLD water to cover all your parts.

once you have your parts in the water, sprinkle some Drano crystals over the parts (about 2 table spoons).

the parts will start to bubble, the water will start to turn green, WITH GLOVES ON, pull the parts out and check em dont leave them in for longer than 2-3 minutes...


once the parts are all raw aluminum colored, take them all out of the solution and rinse them with COLD water..... dump the rest of the solution down your closest clogged drain, and start polishing your new not green parts.

I was told that liquid drano works very well. I have seen other on here do it!! Maybe some one eles will chime in here!

I used Greased Lightning...took 5 minutes

Found it and oven cleaners in a basic search ;-)

Drano Gel all the way. I put it in one of those tin pans 10min or so. Stirred it around a bit, then washed it in some soapy water, and polished with a dremel. It came out fabulous.

stripped mine with liquid plummer industrial strenght gel worked great and no fumes!!!"thumbsup"

eazy off works the quickest or castrol super clean. How about just make your own links and spacers.

i dont want to waist a set of good links because of the color, i know how to make my own, but why make my own if i have a perfect set right in from of me?
