Let me know how you like it. My pump and injectors are all original 1989 - expecting failures.
Today I moved the arbor press and pressed out the bushings on the temporary leaf springs. Now I need to find a set of bushings that'll fit the wagoneer springs that are 5/8 bolt. The original wagoneer bushings are 9/16.
Also fired up the sandblaster for a few minutes. I typically blast big rusty/dirty pieces using dried sand, outdoors wearing a fresh p100 mask, something on my head to prevent sand getting it and a face shield. I know about silicosis but honestly most of the things people suggest blasting with are far, far worse. I've even heard people suggest using metal slags that have lead, mercury and arsenic - out of flat ignorance.
We're surrounded by dangerous chemicals all the time. It's not the chemicals that harm us, it's ignorance and mishandling that harms us.
For really messy pieces it doesn't make sense to throw good grit at it since I don't have a recovery system. I'd like to get a PPA hood, and i've been looking into it. Just haven't found anything promising.
Tired but happy.
