I put Kable-Ease lubricant in the cables and let it soak in. One of the rubber boots was split, so I put 1/2"-1/4" heat shrink tubing on them to help preserve them.


The plastic coating on the end of the cable had stress cracks, so I filled them in with clear PorPatch.

The rear axle parts are cleaned up and ready to assemble.

The underside of the car was filthy, most of it having to do with a leaking differential and road grime. I could not live with it, so I started scraping away the large stuff and then washed it all with LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner by hand with a brush and scrubbing pad. It was a horrible process which involved me being soaking wet and covered in dirt and grease (including my face) with the car being right over me.
