[oletrucks] Rear differential

["Graham Nott" <thenotts@wolfenet.com>]

Hi folks,

For some reason I don't seem to be able to post to this group from home.
Just in case it did work and I just missed it please excuse the dupe
question.

I am ready to reassemble the rear dif on my '46 1.5 ton Chev and the parts
have been sitting for about 2 years.  There is some surface rust which I
would like to clean off before re-assembly.  I was going to just clean with
steel wool and a solvent.  Someone on another list told me NOT to use
gasoline.  Any tips, tricks or other advice on what to use as a solvent?
Any thoughts on whether the steel wool might leave metal bits inside the dif
case?


Thanks

Graham
