How much time did you spend on this (looks like a lot of work)?

Liberal application of elbow grease?

It was actually pretty easy. I bought a can of 3M high pressure brake cleaner and it pretty much dissolved the sludge and blasted it off the parts in a few seconds. All I had to do was wipe out the bottom where the liquid settled.

It took me a few hours to do everything, but I wasn't working straight through. If I didn't take any breaks, probably could have done both of them in about an hour or so. The write-up on the main site was a big help.

Biggest news with me is that my tires got dirty Saturday:

Here they are still fairly clean.


Now they're all dirty. Not sure what happened.

Well, as you suggest, they could have been worse.
