Since Halo reach sucked, which took me 3 hours of playing to figure out I decided to drop the axle this morning. Not so bad, I even got it out without taking the steering linkage apart. Putting it back in, thats a whole new story...

I used the HF soda blaster to blast the whole thing down. Best toy ever!!!! Worked like a champ. Took about 15lbs of baking soda to get it cleaned up. 10 years worth of grime, dirt, grease, rust, gone in about 15 minutes or so. I should be able to start painting in about 20 minutes. I know it still looks rusty, but POR15 has to have rust on it to set properly. I had the blaster set to stun, or rather lowest concentration of media I also have the cleanest driveway on the block now. It is 100% environmentally friendly, so I just dragged it down by the curb and went to town.
