I have now stripped the diff of the brake callipers, half shafts, hubs, discs and shocks. I have also split the diff to check all is good inside; every thing seems like new and operates smoothly.
Next step is to clean off the diff and strip back to metal ready for the welding of the new brackets. Once that’s complete it will be reassembled with new gaskets and oil, painted with under body seal and it will then be ready for fitting.
Have a few more bits to buy before it all goes together, suspensions, brake components, nuts and bolts and a few other bits.
Quick Product review.
Hammerite Rust Remover Gel: Verdict - Shit!
Although it did work in some areas it’s a real faff, having to apply this gel every 15mins for 3 hours is a pain and the result is far from perfect. I think it will take at least double that time again to get all the rust off.
I wouldn’t recommend this product as it was £10 for a pot (I think to finish off the two brake callipers it would have taken more than one pot!), it took a life time and is pretty useless in comparison to paying someone to grit blast it! Or even better having your own grit blaster! Hmmmm wonder what my next purchase should be.
