Was wondering if anyone has any tips for removing the inboard rib that is under the tank attach bracket after its been sealed up with Proseal (probably a month or two). If it makes a difference this is on an RV10.
Long story short, on both tanks, I missed putting Proseal between the rib and the tank attach bracket. It leaks horribly. I've gone in and tried (at least 3 times) to add more Proseal on the inside of the tank, but the tank attach bracket makes it extremely difficult to see inside. So I decided it was time to remove the rib, and try to start from scratch to get a good seal (luckily, I found this out prior to putting on the rear baffle).
I've taken all the rivets out and have done a decent job getting the Proseal off the outside of the tank - but getting it off the inside is going to be a challenge - especially since i went in and really caked it on, hoping to seal the leak. I've soaked a rag with MEK and held it in there, wiped it along the seam, etc. Still having problems working it loose.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Here is a pic of what I'm trying to remove:
Thanks
