Cleaning Bosch pump

[blinkyeatu]

I've dissembled my pump and wondering what the best way to clean the bits that are exposed to the outside world; main block and top. I've gone at it with brake cleaner and a wire brush whilst it almost does it, it still leaves a load of crap. I was thinking could I soak them in hot water maybe abit of soap, rinse, stick them in the oven on a low heat evaporate it all off then Dw-40 and brake cleaner for extra measure I want it shining

That's how I did mine, go for the softer brass coloured ones, used a bit of brake cleaner to soften the old veg off too lol

Oooh that's lovely I think I'll do mine I've got some black and red so guess it'll be that. what did do to clean it? Gunna have a walk into town see if I can find any drill attachments but not got much hope :/
And did you just put it back together the just go nuts and spray everything?

I had it all striped down and built it all back up with 12mm head and grov mod and ground lda so whilst it was striped I cleaned every part with wire brush and paint thinners lol then sprayed all the parts separately to make sure I didn't miss any were lol 

Get a picture of ur one wen it's done :-)

12mm head!! Are you going mega power then? From what I see the levers inside all need changing for a 12mm head

No wen I done It It all worked out ok lol will be going on my twin turbo 306 when I get round to it :-)  have a spear 12mm head so might build anotanother one up soon just to have as a spear

I've reassembled it but just thinking should the lever be pressed right up against the governor then require quite abit of pressure to press it back? As I remember it moved quite freely

Dw I've got it

Only had one suspect washer left over fairly large with a started imprint on one side like but much larger than the one on the throttle shaft

[pioneer DJ paddy]

It looks to big to go on any of the levers with those teething i do wonder tho if it's from the boost comp part
