Some of you may recall our plight, working in a storage unit and not having enough space to get both birfs out at the same time. We took a good look at it and realized that the front axle, while mechanically solid, is looking a little bit dingy. If we remove the axle entirely, we have all the room in the world to work, and we could sand and paint it, as well as do our front axle rebuild. For extra fun, we could also easily re-seal our oil pans, because FIPG isn't exactly expensive. I have the FSM but I wanted to know your opinions. We have good tools and good patience, but I have no faith in our ability to do this quickly and without weird problems. Plus, we can make a huge mess because the guy only has a 25 dollar deposit (this is a joke, for the humor impaired).
So how much more work is it to remove it entirely so we can sand it and give it a fresh coat of pant, and hopefully stave off some rust? With it off, how tempting will it be to shove some mog axles in there?
