[quote][i]Originally posted by nibnob21[/i] Track rod ends separated: [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0811.jpg[/img] Lower ball joints were an utter bastard. [i]Finally[/i] managed to get them separated with a 4lb club hammer, ear defenders and persistence.

Only a couple of pictures but they're pretty representative of the full set. Before: [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0815.jpg[/img] After: [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0816.jpg[/img] Ended up buying citric acid for rust removal instead of any expensive products. Thought I'd give it a test on a couple of rusty nuts first. Just a teaspoon's worth in this little jar. [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0817.jpg[/img] [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0818.jpg[/img] The solution turned green after a few hours as it ate away the rust: [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0819.jpg[/img] After 24 hours with no agitation, just a very quick rinse they look like this. Pretty impressive results I'd say. They were completely covered in rust before. [img]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0820.jpg[/img] [/quote]
