Dave Rayner Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Nigel, try a petrol soaked soft cloth and keep persevering refreshing the petrol now and again and you should find it will come off in small rubbery balls!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 3, 2016 Member Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'd start with isopropyl alcohol before breaking out anything fiercer.Brake cleaner comes in various formulations and some of them might damage paint and tyres, or just possibly, the top layer on wheels.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium7 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I used a piece of softwood (pine) with around. 60 degree chisel edge on the end a with copious amounts of WD40 'chiselled' the the rubber away as well as the adhesive. This is the same method I use to remove the bonnet foam and adhesive when I need to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaster Flatcap Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thank you all for the above. Taking your suggestions as inspiration, I found out a repeated alternate moistening with methylated spirit and scraping with the edge of a recently expired EHIC card proved most effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's better with anew EHIC card, I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
