Re: Rust converter

Boiled Linseed Oil is perfect for places that requre no sanding , such as the floors . Just get off the loose rust , paint with the linseed oil and allow to dry , which may take a week or more . Then you can just paint over .

Re: 64 4 speed rear axles???

There is one bolt inside the Universal Joint adapter that must be removed , then remove the adapter ( may require some tapping with hammer ) Next remove brake drum , you will see four nuts holding the axle bearing , remove these and it will slide out
