Re: Any good potions/processes for removing undercoating?

Update. I was out in the garage this weekend. I had just hit the nut and threads of the bolt, with the propane torch for about 5 seconds or so. The undercoating didn't burn or melt. But it is apparently so old and dry, that following up with a wire brush takes it off.

Although, I forgot how brittle these bolts are. Most of the bolts are breaking. The last time I removed a front fender, I think that I broke almost all of the bolts.

Interestingly, I found that the band clamp that holds the fresh air tube to the driver's side cowl was apparently mis-installed at the factory, and then undercoated. There was a big gap that had to be letting in water coming off of the front tire.

Thanks,
