While waiting on the 1-1/2 in impact socket to show up tomorrow, I decided to see what I could do with the spare mount rods again. I’ve been soaking with PB Blaster every day for almost a week. I wasn’t very optimistic since I hadn’t been able to get either one to budge at all, but one more try….
It budged!!! Once I got it to move a little I was able to add PB Blaster and get it a little more with each try. I now have both sides moving like they should and followed up with WD-40 as it seemed to clean out the rust and PB Blaster well.
The rods were both full of 80 years of dirt and grime and the threads were a bit rusty. A tap was a necessary step to clean the threads.
