A wheel is a bit big for your average dishwasher... ;)

Domestic steam cleaners tend not to be so good on engine parts as the pressure is not comparable to an industrial steam cleaner...

Have you tried cheap oven cleaner..? If not - you may be surprised...

WOW, I remember using this now. Such a long ime ago on my 50cc. It was fantastic at getting oil off the engine. No scrubbing required just spray on, leave 10 mins and rinse off with water. It was fantastic. ;D ;D ;D

Again, a wheel is a bit big.... and oven cleaner is far too harsh.

Cheers Jonny, I may take you up on that! :)

I've got two types of commercial steam cleaner, a "dry" vapor type machine, just 240v elec which gives a small jet of steam for cleaning ovens, tiles etc.
Looks a bit like a vacuum cleaner.

The other is a more standard (and a lot bigger) steam cleaner, 240v and diesel.3' long / 3' high.

You are welcome to borrow one, the latter will need to be collected in a van.
Sadly I can't do any cleaning on my site in Westbury.
Drop me a pm for details.
Cheers
