All these and more went into the Evaporators-rust bucket to soak overnight.

Coincidently, I have been reading a fun book about rust, the impact it has on human endeavors (at least $400 billion per year), and interesting case examples, like the Statue of Liberty. Hoping for a chapter called the 914.

Chemistry lab follow up. First the epoxy seems a bit stiffer but still flexible.

Next, the corrosion inhibitors. These were both very wet after sitting overnight.

Now for the Evaporators-rust. Pulling out the basket, and the parts look great.

The small fasteners are almost rust free.

Most improved: the front torsion bar adjusters. These were covered with rust.

Now onto the standard procedure. Remove the cir-clip and loosen the boot flange.

Repeat on the other end, and then break down the CV joints (keep the parts for each one together).

Looking through your thread and seeing all that you're doing, makes me wish I would have documented much more than I did. I took quite a few pictures, but not nearly as many as you. I thought about I when I initially started, but having documented other past projects, I realized how time consuming it was/is. I chose to focus that extra energy on my project.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. Because of people like you, people like me can live vicariously through people like you when we aren't working on our own stuff. Keep up the good work! |
