Project beginning
I'm getting ready to remove the rusty tub on my 85 cj7 and begin the
project. I'm not sure if I'm getting a fiberglass tub or used steel, but eith way I'm removing the old one and having the frame painted. I need to know what tools I should have on hand prior to the task. I have a set of tools for most back yard operations and an air compressor - what else "must have" tools should I get. -- HomeBrewer http://home.earthlink.net/~t3e871/index.html www.rcparkflyers.com Remove the xxx to reply! |

Re: Project beginning
when i took the body off of mine i had to use a torch on a couple of them.
they weren't rusted that bad but it helped a lot other favorites: breaker bar impact wrench long extensions-for the ones in front of the gas tank patience? possibly a cut-off wheel-since your tub is really rusted don't forget to disconnect: the brake lines right below the master cylinder at the firewall the parking brake cable under the rear passenger seat the parking brake at the pedal-the cable runs through the frame the gas tank fill lines the rear axle vent line-it goes up near the filler neck the wire harness going to the rear lights-i think just MAKE SURE nothing is connected when u lift it. good luck!
