Having all those parts separate (time and inconvenience) vs doing some touch up blasting with a small pot from Northern or Harbor Freight. There's going to be sand in every bit of this when it's done and complete disassembly will happen anyway. I would leave it in one piece and do the clean up myself. Added bonus of having the rust off the nuts and bolts for disassembly. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 170 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 170 | I left mine a rolling chassy. It made it easier to get it in and out of the garage. I think that it would be better though to disassemble the leaf springs. I thought I may do this later if needed.
Good luck... and happy cleaning. | | |
