Oven cleaner? I think that is a great idea! Does anybody have an old piston,
and the urge for an experiment? The stuff is definitely designed to remove
baked on carbon.

Bob -
Install your Matco brakes so that the brake unit is positioned in such a way that
the filler nipple is pointing upward. That will make filling your brakes with
fluid MUCH easier. To keep the nipple clean and free of dirt, I put a little
plastic cover on mine - the kind you find at hardware stores called "thread
protectors." They come in different sizes & colors. The red one (for a 1/4
inch bolt) is what fits on the filler nipple.

I also have the tapered spring steel landing gear that Richard posted
photos of. Old Kolb developed these gear legs. When Old Kolb built them
they welded a tubular extension on the nub at the 31 inch (from Richard's
second photo) part of the gear legs. This extension carried the landing
load further up into gear socket in the fuselage cage.
When I installed these gear legs on my MKIIIC I slipped a 4130 steel tube
over the gear legs from the 21 inch measure to app 36 inch measure. The
tube is slightly smaller OD than the gear socket ID. I had to grind the nub
at the 31 inch measure down a bit to fit in the reinforcing tube. I would
have welded on a extension on like Old Kolb did but was afraid of changing
the tempering of the gear legs.
The gear legs are great, very durable with plenty of travel and spring.
They are shorter than the newer tubular gear legs but work well for me. You
do have to be careful because the spring in the gear will bounce you back
into the air on a bad landing.

I've never heard anyone on this list who has those style legs complain about
them and they seem to be super durable.
Having started with the original straight aluminum legs and switched to the
taller bent steel tube legs, I much prefer the look of the taller steel leg
s.

Mazda rotary guys (including me) use it to clean rotors, but they are cast iron.
Not sure about its effect on aluminum, though.
For rust, a 50-50 mix of acetone & ATF is pretty impressive (and inexpensive).

Just the opposite of Charlie E's less expensive "stuff" is Kroil by KANO
Labs in Nashville, TN. This stuff is expensive, but works better than
anything I have tried over the years for loosening stuck stuff.
They have an air tight guarantee to give you back your money if you, at
any time, are dissatisfied with their product.
Don't let the prices scare you. It works well.

I think oven cleaner contains caustic soda ( lye). It dissolves
aluminum. Very important to test first. Could test on any piece of
aluminum

Oven cleaner? I think that is a great idea! Does anybody have an old
piston, and the urge for an experiment? The stuff is definitely designed to
remove baked on carbon.

For what it's worth. Machinists often have to deal with some nasty situations.
At
least this article has some numbers, not just preferences or claims. Saw this
some time ago -
____________________________________________
I read a post on another website that said that an April/May 2007 edition of
Machinist's Workshop did a study on penetrating oils to see which was the best
at freeing rusted hardware. The results are indicated below:
Penetrating oil . Average breakaway load .. Price per fluid ounce
None ................. 516 pounds .
WD-40 .............. 238 pounds .. $0.25
PB Blaster ......... 214 pounds .. $0.35
Liquid Wrench ... 127 pounds .. $0.21
Kano Kroil ........ 106 pounds .. $0.75
ATF-Acetone mix.. 53 pounds .. $0.10
According to this, a 50/50 mixture of Acetone and ATF was the best. Also,
someone mentioned that "CRC Freeze-Off Super Penetrant" was pretty good
with stuck bolts as the freezing effect tends to crack rusted surfaces.

Summer 1988, after flying over Niagara Falls the first time in my Kolb
Firestar, I had an engine failure and forced landing over the river between
Buffalo and Grand Island, NY, in the middle of the Niagara River. Got real
busy on short, short final and stalled the Firestar ripping out the gear leg
socket and shearing a socket in midsection. Up until this time the
instructions called for running the gear leg only halfway into the socket.
This put the load at the weakest point where the socket was drilled for
securing the leg. Winter 1988, Brother Jim and I completely rebuilt the
Firestar fuselage. We decided at this time to run the 4130 gear legs (our
design) all the way into the socket until it bottomed out at the
intersection, spreading the load throughout the socket. Never sheared
another one after that.
The extension was an improvement over the old system of insertion only
halfway in.
Homer Kolb used to tell me I was his best test bed. If it could be broken,
I'd probably do just that.
Miss those good old days.
