Axle removal

Did a bit of work on the axles - they are a bit rusty but in good shape otherwise. 



Same for the tires/wheels.  Tires are virtually new - a couple of hundred miles on them and they've been inside the hangar/out of UV.  The rims are just a bit rusty.



So, after a bit of wire brush rust removal, they're ready for some "Rusty Metal Rustoleum"!



Same for the axles themselves.  Rusty, but in good shape otherwise.




Brakes appear to be in good shape also.





I know it doesn't look too much different....but much paint has been applied!



Duane disassembled the axle for ease of painting and inspection.


 More painting.




And, next day starting to paint everything with more Rustoleum  - this time all black so it looks good when reassembled!
