Hi, as per other comments your videos are easy to follow. On the underside of the body, do you use waxoyl classic, yellow can or the underbody specific version (black can) I’ve been told the yellow can stuff doesn’t dry quite the same and can remain tacky. ? Thanks
Looks like it's better than what they are doing today. My 8 year old "freelander 3" is as rusty as all heck underneath already. Going to need gallons of Fluid Film (no Waxoyle where I am right now) to get a handle on it.
I'd just replace the drums, painting correctly before fitting them. The old drums will be worn anyway, so it makes sense fit painted new drums, and take the opportunity to rebuild the shoe assembly too, which is known to seize and corrode anyway. ;)
Zed Man Thanks. Interesting, I’ve always used moly or graphite grease as it looks like that has been used in them previously. Then again silicon grease is not a bad idea as may be more water repellent, maybe I’ll try next time. The best polymer sealant was labelled quickseal. Really tacky and labelled as a seam sealer. But usually I just buy off eBay anything that says it’s polymer.
comeinhandynow cheers have got seam sealer does a good job on cars wasn’t sure if it was polymer based though. So most greases are petroleum based so can attack the rubber in the long term making them harden and crack. The silicone doesn’t. Also moly/graphite grease has too much grit giving you the opposite of what you really want on a slider.
For the Waxoyl I used a Shutz spray gun on an air line, for the brake spraying just an aerosol can. You can get Waxoyl in aerosols but then you can’t mix it with oil of course.
