@914_7T3 set me up with a very nice NOS rear axle for my build that I'm finally getting ready to install. It looks like it has been sitting on a shelf for a very long time but the ends are wrapped in plastic to keep them clean. I'm curious of opinions on whether I should just bolt it on or clean and re-grease first. Thanks.

Well, job done. I remembered that being a fun job but had forgotten just HOW fun. My curse generator over heated three times so I had to pause to let it cool down. The whole time I kept thinking you guys had somehow conspired with your advice just to ruin my day, but I confess it was pretty obvious the old grease was getting waxy and needed to be replaced. Now I have the other side to do - YIPEE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) At least those are already cleaned. That's 3/4 of the job.
Thanks all for your advice. Hope your days went better than mine but it is nice to have it out of the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
