So I'm in the process of putting together an 8 3/4 rear end. I have all the parts (I think) but my 3rd member is kind of crusty. The guy I purchased my car from said it had fresh gears and was just rebuilt but he never had time to install it.
Well the 3rd member has a little surface rust on the outside of it and even less inside from it sitting for so long. I wire wheeled and hand sanded a good portion from the outside of it but don't know what to do for the inner portion. I'd rather not take it all apart, can I sand it all and spray it with a cleaner then let it dry before installing it?
Thanks for all the help!
