I really couldn't figure out what forum to post this in, so I figured I'd give it a shot here...
I've been getting tired of seeing my high-pinion Dana 30 and 29-spline 8.25 I bought continuing to gather rust, so I went ahead and bought a proper air compressor and am ready to start tearing these things down and get the housings primed and ready to go for rebuilding (plus WJ/XK disc swaps on front and rear respectively). My only question at this point is this...
What abrasive media would be the most ideal for this process? Aluminum oxide appears to be ideal for rust removal, but isn't exactly cheap. What media would you guys recommend as being the best balance between efficacy and price? These axles are from a '97 (so I'm told) and appear to have sat outside for some time, so there are several layers of flaky rust visible on the pumpkins themselves. These will be blasted outside, so media collection is likely out of the question.
Thanks in advance!
