Thanks for sharing. This gives me a little more courage to attempt this procedure on my 58 layered brake dust encrusted wheels as well. I want to index the holes some kind of way so I can put them back on the same way they came off. I was intending to use purple power and a pressure washer and I am worried about chemical etching which is one of the reasons I have delayed on this work for my srt.
