Thanks 49Reo,

Tried mineral turpentine first. Minor improvement - some rubber bits, no effect on glue.

My brake cleaner was used up, but I had some CRC Gasket Stripper and OOmph (Gum-off for stickers/transfers).

As it was hard glue, i tried the gasket stripper first and a bamboo BBQ skewer as a scraper, and repeat and repeat.    Took 2 hours , but
now spotless and no damage to the part.

Isn't the Internet wonderful (and this forum), would never have thought the Gasket stripper would work on something so hard !!  :)

Try brake cleaner Very carefully; you don't want that on your new paint job; or "Goo-gone" if it is a soft glue; it is available in most hardware stores.

Regards and such,

Have removed the big O rings in the air filters around the connector tube, ready to replace with new - the old ones had sporadic bits of glue (to hold them in place during assembly - I assume).

Mongrels !!!

Don't like the idea of squashing a new O ring in on top of  old glue - but only thing I can think of is to chip out the glue.

Anyone had this problem , and a solution ??
