The axle nut socket came from Auto Value. .

I worked on getting the rusted u-bolts out. The task was not an easy one. I used a long shank drill to drill out the rust and debris in the channels and soaked in Blaster more. I had to remove the wheels as to get a long enough throw for a 4’ cheater bar on the nuts. The nuts came off but the...
