R.I.P.
I've always struggled to remove the rubber deposits from the crankshaft pulley on multi-V belt drives. My engine distributor said it helps belt life to remove them. He soaks his in paint stripper, and then uses a copper wire toothbrush. He said others use gasoline or carb cleaner to soften the deposits, then the toothbrush.
But none of those chemicals work really well. So I did some research. Multi-V belts are made of neoprene. And the only chemical I could find that truly dissolves it is chloroform. I doubt if it is readily available to consumers. Does anyone know of a more common chemical that works real well?.. or a source for small quantities of chloroform?
