Yeah 20 ton needed for these really unless they're not that old then they'll come out with a 10 ton.
Even had some struggle at 20 ton!

Deox gel is pretty harmless to all but rust
Required a 20ton on mine after soaking the hubs and bearings in deox c
Really! I'd have thought it would only remove corrosion unless it was in a really strong solution maybe?Its not. I just totaled two hubs and two 60mm hub carriers with it.

Defo blasting is the best way or electrolysis.
If you do the job properly they wont rust.
Very nice. I just cleaned most of the rust off with deox-c prob live to regret it but gave it a go. very weak solution approx 4% (just under their min recommendation). Then wire brushed them. masked off the bits i didnt want paint on and sprayed them with high temp hammerite.
That's weird. it put my comment in the grey box.You forget to comment lol
He put it in the quote square eyesYou forget to comment lol
Be careful of the hydrogen being emitted but another good way of removing rustAnd then theres electrolysis. I did this on my classic scooby as a trail more than anything and worked perfectly.
12v car battery with the charger attached to keep a good voltage and draw onto the sacrificial piece of steel.

No harmful acid needed just washing soda in the water that's it.
I did all my spitfire parts like this. Even filled the fuel tank to clean it internally. Worked amazingly well!That's why its outside bud 👍
Danger Danger high voltage
To be honest if you bought the cars brand new they all start out with some form of electro plating in silver or gold but over time it wears off. It's a sacrificial coatingGreat result. Prefer the oem grey sort of look though, or satin black.
When we touch, when we kiss...Danger Danger high voltage
I've put new ends on but not done the full rods.You gonna doe tie rods as well? they look a bit tired..
So I’m going slower than a slow snail due to other jobs but it’s slowly getting there. It’s not showroom, or display level but I’m rather happy how it’s going. Before and after (in progress). View attachment 1481119View attachment 1481121
deox-c mainly so will find out if the bearings are shot + wire brush and dremel. They feel ok for now. then just sprayed them in high temp matt black. Got some replacement calipers aswell which i've cleaned up and painted.What did you use to clean the hubs up then or are they new?
Ah ok! Well they turned out looking good so at least that! Its good stuff that deox c, I use that then kurust, then primer, gave me a good finish on my rear calipers and hubsYeah. As per a few posts ago (about a month ago). Very weak solution but that was after I was told it was good stuff and before I was told not great idea to have the bearings in. Always learning.
Not sure. They’re both there. I’ve done the front end so will be moving onto the back end next. Doing the brakes and suspension eyc so might just replace them while at it.Rear sensors both working?
