think it may have been the same monkey that worked on mine...no a sign of copper slip anywhere....anyways just checkt the electrolyte bath.....bugger me...orange water with rust swirling around it....going to be busy painting !!

You will be highly impressed, i did my front uprights (with no bearings in) and rear drum plates and was amazed :)

got some before pics to prove that my ramblings to my dad and uncle(doubters) that it does work ...will post them tomorrow ....will it damage the bearings ??

Yes it will damage the bearings.

Sorry dont have any pics on my computer anymore, just printed them all and put them in an album when i finished my build

Look it up on google and you will find loads of info and before/after pics

As TT quite rightly said it will damage the bearings

Ive left bearings in before to see what happens and they always feel rough afterwards

They will be submerged in water for about 24hrs so even if it didnt damage them they would have water trapped in them which aint good!

Surely at disks at only £24 a pair, you are not going to try and reuse them, just beat them furiously with a club hammer until they break, fit new with new pads (has ANYONE used old pads?)

too much hammer action could damage the bearings.
