I find that soft wire brush on a bench grinder/buffer is fine for aluminium, you know the one that is thin wavy wires with a brass coating, brings gasket trace right off

I used a bit more perspex(48mm wide) to push against the bearings on some threaded rod also had a bit of ali on the back of the perspex to keep it at the right angle, ill do one of my famous pics

Yea, its to stop it pushing the bearing uneven hence why its a bit long becuase just a disc of perspex would move about to much
