hey, what can I do to remove rust from the surface of the cruise control and the shock mounts/copper nuts???......I need to get rid of the rust on the nuts to install a swaybar which I cant get off, any help appreciated.already searched, none found

 

Why dont you just spray them with wd-40 and use an impact gun?

are you serious???? take it to a shop and pay 80 bucks an hour when you coulda done it for free in 5 mins ................

 

that didnt answer my question, whats an impact gun???.........and yes I'm serious, im only 16 and im just learning this stuff

 

well atleast your honest honest.........an impact gun is a compression driven power tool. you see them all the time at tire shops but I don't think youll need something like that...a ratchet and socket should be all you need....sand paper and wd40 should be all you need

 

Yea if you are serious about working on cars, get yourself a good air compressor. Then you can use all the pneumatic tool you want (like a impact gun).

 

an impact gun can also be thought of as teh gun they use to take the lugnuts off wheels in nascar/indy

and it sounds like your installing a STRUT bar (different from sway bar), which connects the top of the two strut towers.
a SWAY bar goes underneath the car and connects the suspension together, improving handling


oh yea... PB blaster is also REALLLYYY good at penetrating rusted nuts/bolts

 

steel wool/wd40
