I tried cutting them with a buck knife. A sharp one. Images of busted up knuckles or sliced open fingers from slipping kept me from using too much force and it was just not something I felt comfortable continuing along with. Bleeding out is not my favorite past time.///// I don't see how chiseling rubber is even possible. And I tried ripping chunks off with pliers and it worked but after 10 mins of cutting, pounding, ripping and wasting time...... I hadn't even made it halfway through the top part.///// Melting........ Yeah....... Firefighter here. Not a fan. If your 3.8 leaks flammable engine lubricants like mine does.......lighting rubber on fire near that front valve cover just doesn't seem like that great of an idea.///// my method works, is clean, and requires little to no effort. Just have to know how to tie a good knot.
Mine too. But I have to go back to work next week and I don't have the time to waste anymore. Layoff season is over. It's crunch time.
