Armadillon's FW Ranger D44/Ford 9"

Post your success!!!
I forgot all about doing that! I'll do the same thing with my brake brackets if it does good!

How's it working?

 

[armadillon]

I think I'm going to take this battery charger back and exchange for one that I can set the amperage manually. This one likes to automatically do it and I'd rather have it running at max. Not bad though

And now my battery is fully charged

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

That's a big difference! I think I'm gonna do that to my rotors and caliper brackets

 

[armadillon]

I'm going to do it to my rotors for sure. My axle came from Maine.

If you use a larger container you can also do your axle. I'd of course recommend throwing a coat of paint on immediately after it dries. Surface rust will form pretty quick.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

Just started a rotor! Did you add anything to the water?

 

[armadillon]

Baking soda/washing soda. You'll need it for sure. A moderate amount mixed in.

 

[armadillon]

It's been covered extensively, but positive to your piece of metal you don't care about, negative to your part. Baking soda/washing soda to the water and turn her on.Wait hours and hours (overnight) and then scrub off all the red and black scum.

Awesome! Sorry I never looked it up. I'll she cl it out. Thanks bud!

Oh no worries, I thought you'd done it before. Just check out Rust Electrolysis on the Googlifier.

My XKUT reamer is ridiculous. It chewed through the TRE like it was butter.

Is this too large a gap? Should I make the hole deeper or will this work just fine? I have plenty of room on the other side to thread the nut on and put the cotter pin through it.

Is the rubber skirt held in place by a groove on the TRE or will it easily slide around? If it's held in place by a groove then I don't think it will hurt anything leaving it like that.

 

[armadillon]

No groove. And that's bothered me a bit about these TREs. They're really only going to stay on there if they're flush, but then you wouldn't be able to move the joint.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

I would bore it a tad further. Do you have access to any leather? A old pair of work boots maybe? I'd make a couple leather washers to take up the last extra space. Or even a piece of soft rubber.
