rust OK? I used 80 grit on one gear after sealing off the bushing, then blew it off and cleaned it in solvent tank. It looks great, but are there case hardening issues or anything or is this OK to do?
We have used glass bead blasting to clean brass and copper items with no ill effects. I would guess these gears are harder than brass and copper, thus I wouldn't worry.
you can rip apart an old HD transmission and know what parts go where when you put it together?
wow, I am impressed, if you can do that then you know more than 98% any Harley mechanic
the HD Mechainics I know they couldn't put air in a wheelbarrow tire
i wouldn't but sure i guess if you stand off it and do it might be ok but they make a cream for polishing but sure it woul dwork ok if you dont get to close to it
