[THEFERMANATOR]

I got the boot expansion tool already. I don't think the old SEARAY would look that streamlined anymore with a bracket and my 250 YAMAHA back there(considered it though ;D). I'm gonna try 3000 psi of water first to clean it and see how much comes off, after that I'll break out the grinders with some scotch-brite and wire brush's. Then paint and reassemble. The gimble bearing was the worst part of the teardown though, most of the languange shouldn't be repeated here.

Here's the link to the directions for teardown.
