Cleaning rear hub

Yes, all the Honda wheels I have done (so far) have no real measurable offset but the spokes have enough thread to allow the rim to be upto 5mm off to one side, so I always lay a straightedge across the hub and record the distance to the rim before dismantling. That way, no matter what kind of wheel I'm doing, the result is always correct. Another thing I try to do is match up the valve hole with any 'witness marks' on the hub.
Must talk to you about a supplier for the DCM stripper - always awkward in Orkney
Regards,
Ian

I managed to knock down the lady selling it to 20 quid for 5l at autojumble and £7 for the 1 litre stuff..(1 litre stuff is more of a gel and marginally better) If you want me to get you any next time I am there , no problem and I can tie up with you if your'e in Hull anytime or leave it with someone who's coming to visit you.

Many thanks for that Ash,
Not sure when I'll be down in Englandshire again but will certainly bear it in mind. Everywhere seems to want some cast iron guarantee that it will only be used in industrial premises, so might have to be economical with the truth - you know, like politicians.

That looks like the stuff Paul .. typically £7 / litre & even £20 for 5l at autojumbles though (e.g. Newark) if you haggle. I stripped a 750K0 rear hub carrier this morning, lacquer came off literally in seconds !

When you say paint stripper would Nitromos do the job?
Also a bit wary of using such stuff around tyres etc, any advice

Nitromors is rubbish now. I used the stuff in the 5l tin but both will work fine. Just keep away from the tyre. Doesn't seem to attack zinc plating if you are quick.

I picked up a 1l can of the Final Systems stuff from The Bay for £12.49 delivered which seemed not unreasonable.
Looking at the tin it seems pretty evil stuff, so before using it can anyone offer advice on the best way of applying and removing it, particularly on fiddly stuff like around brackets.
Thanks in advance.
