die grinder with a 3m "prep pad" on it. Kinda looks like scotch brite but fits a special arbor for a die grinder or a drill. cleans gaskets off anything makes it look like brand new

I took a flat-sharpedged paint scraper and a rubber malet. Just get the edge of the scraper and tap it along w/ the malet.

I had just used the razor blade and it does take quite awhile. I also was looking at other things laying around just to see if they'd work and I got a putty-knife-type-thing but it was too thick to really get into the gasket.
