I'm finding that, in cleaning and painting the Blue Funk's frame, it is more efficacious to remove any parts that I can.
I've come to the parking brake cross shaft assembly. It appears, to me, that the end supprt clevises are pressed on to the shaft. I'm thinking that it may just be a good idea to leave the assembly together and clean and paint it assembled.
What are your thoughts on this?
