So I'm restoring my TLC and I'm wondering what I should do about the axles.
First of all, I fear that sandblasting them would damage internal components by either abrasion or heat, and worry that keeping media from entering the housing would prove problematic. So how should I clean them?
Secondly I don't know what to coat them with after the exterior is cleaned. I've been having almost all of the metal parts powdercoated (except for the body,) but I obviously can't do that with these.
The front knuckles will have to be rebuilt since they are leaking badly. My FJ is a '74 if it matters.
