Stripping gaz gold rears.
Got some gaz gold rear dampers on the way. Any one know how to strip the Blue rubber from the top. I want to vapour blast them and Clear coat them to make them look like new.

Rang them and they are sending a "build sheet" to me bugger sending them back it's cheaper to buy new than it is a rebuild.

Haha! Can't believe they couldn't just say that over the phone. The info from Wassy is more helpful.

I think this thread should be made a sticky, some really useful information and I particularly liked the detailed diagrams and pictures.
