Brake plate and spring

This time (25th September 2010), I just only taken 2 shots of the work. One is showing a brake plate, totally cleaned, with some of the brushes employed to do so, and spring after applied a coat of "Titan" antirust.

Now, it´s for priming it!!!

After buying a bicomponent priming, I applied it to a brake plate with a brush and some solvent (18th Sept. 2010).

With the help of a friend!

Well, just another day cleaning and cleaning, with some blanket pieces, papers, petroleum and the help of a friend! Thanks a lot, Andrés!!!16th September 2010...







Some details of the assy housing:

Rear axle...still cleaning!

5th September, 2010...more cleaning work at rear asxle houssing and brakes shoes, after getting out all the linings.

Dismantling the housing

At 4th September 2010, I opened the housing cover of the rear axle. I remember that another fellow jeeper told me some years ago that this could be a full floating one, although I´m not sure...
Well, the gasket was OK and I began to cleaning it, with some petrol and pieces of a blanket. And patience, too!

Still working on the drake drum shoe set!

2th of September 2011...I was still working on the brake drum shoe set, cleaning them and getting dirty me!

Working on the rear axle

At 28th August 2011, it began what I called serious work: I started with the rear axle, dismantling and cleaning the brakes.

I began dismantling the plate assembly from the wheel stud, in order to dismantle too the brake drums shoe set and working on them.

How to straighten a chassis

Well, you have known probably that some people straighten a chassis in many, many different ways, but I have never listened about do this work with the help of a workshop elevator...also with the help of a couple of friends, mr. Baldu and Jesús Mari. Thanks a lot, fellows!

Cleaning the firewall

Ok, this isn´t a really hard work but at least I started cleaning the isolating stuff of the red bodytub. I suppose that his latest owner -as he installed a diesel engine- wanted to avoted the noise and fumes of it.

By the way, the serial number of this dataplate says 452GB1 12207. Cool!
