Today I removed the front axle. Just had to move the jack stands back onto the frame, heat up a couple of stubborn U-bolt nuts, and voila. I decided since I was doing the brakes and king pins why not paint the axle. I just about have all the rust and goo off with a putty knife and wire wheel. I'll wipe it down with de-wax and de-greaser. I have to clean up all the steering arms, drag link, tie rod and connecting rod. Not to mention all the drums and backing plates. I have some Zero Rust to put paint on everything. Not sure if I want to spray or brush. I sure am having fun this summer working on the beast.
