There’s a fair bit of work involved in replacing seals as I mentioned
The walnut blast you need the gear otherwise you can do it chemically.
The rest is strait forward and can be done with standard tooling(torx sockets and so on)

Aus335. I have watched lots of videos on the chemical cleaning. It really doesn't compare. You use quite a bit of chemical, have to take the manifold off anyway. I have seen a few easy diy blaster kits on the internet. I recon I might put a kit together to share around Sydney for a case of beer a weekend. You need a decent compressor. Here is one from left field. Has anyone ever substituted salt for walnuts? I know it does a pretty good job of knocking off rust.
