Aim:removing sound deadening

Required:

Dry ice (3-5 kgs)
Rubber gloves/leather
Rubber mallet
Flat head screwdriver/chisel
Kerosene (optional)
Rags (optional)

Steps:

1: Put on gloves and put dry ice on the selected sound deadening

2: Leave the dry ice on the sound deading untill you can hear the sound deadening crack

3.Hit the rubber mallet against the bottom of the chasis, the sound deadening should come straight off the body, if it is being stubborn use a flat head screwdriver/chisel to remove it.






Optional

4. In last two photos most of the sound deadening is out, but there are still some small stubborn pieces.Pour kerosene on the area make sure the car is in a ventilated area and leave for a good one to three hours.

5. After this, sound deadening should be soft, use rag to wipe the remaining pieces.

Once dry ice has been used on a certain bits of sound deadening, put it back in its container so that it can be reused on other sections, this way u would only need about 3kgs

BOC stock dry ice, no need for pre-order waiting preiod. its about $8-10 a Kg and when you buy it bring a esky with you.

Not all BOC stores have dry ice so call before you go.

sound deadner usually weighs 10-15kg all up.

good luck, tip before u do it.. just try with a flat head and a hammer first before going out and buying dry ice.

do it first thing in the morning when the cars cold,, will be easier removing it rather then coming home for a long drive and doing it i did mine with flat blade and hammer,,, no need for dry ice,, dont know your circumstances though otherwise very good write up for the newcomers to this scene
