Want to paint my 8 3/4 - 03/09/11 10:40 PM
I am getting close to putting an 8 3/4 under my Challenger.
The housing came with the car but needs to be cleaned of rust and dirt and painted. The axles are still in the housing but the third member is not. What is the best way to clean and prep it to be painted? Should I have it blasted or run a drill and wire brush? Will a little surface rust be a problem? How about the inside, how is that cleaned up? Also Any special prep on the axle shafts before re-use with a rebuilt carrier,new bearings and seals?
Thanks
