Murbella – Day 3 – Axle Drive Shaft Restoration Begins
So I spent about 20 minutes decreasing the axle drive shafts and set myself on the task of removing as much surface rust as I could, as well as all remains of the prior coating. They cleaned up very well. I used my tried and true Dremel to get as much surface rust off as…
Murbella – Day 3 – Passenger Side Axle Disassembly
The passenger side axle is in a lot worse shape than the drive side. It required a lot more work to get the boots off but eventually it broke apart. I did a basic degrease to be able to handle all this but I’m not touching any more of the boots or the outer CV…

Gen4EFI is probably Żuczek’s future
So while I had not planned to do anything major in a physical sense this winter, I have been doing a lot of reading and research on both body/metal work as well as continuing the dumping of data into my brain in terms of engine building and where to go in the next few years….
