Axle and Suspension, Part 2
September 14 2010 by Darrin.
While waiting for the rear axle parts, I tackled the front axle. First step, remove it:
Next, clean it with oven cleaner and a pressure washer:
That worked pretty well to remove 25 years of grease!
Next, wire brush the axle, clean it again with laquer thinner, and coat it with POR-15…
After it dries, reinstall with new Dobinson’s springs, bushes, and greasable anti-inversion shackles, just like the rear axle. (You’ll notice my anti-inversion pins are not installed at this point. With no weight on, I can’t make it happen. I’ll see how it goes as I progress with reassembly, and make some new travel-stops as needed)…
Next step - rebuild front axle: brakes, knuckles, bearings, etc. Gotta paint some house trim first!
