2015 Mafia Family Reunion Maintenance Thread

[Stu]

I've been trying to paint my brakes, but to no avail due to how much rust has built up over the years it has lived in NH. I don't have a good place to do media blasting, and a wire wheel just isn't cutting it (pun intended). Does anyone have a media blaster, or a compressor with enough CFM to do it? I can get the blaster + media if need be.

Edit: I could also pick up an N55 adapter and do a walnut blast

I also want to try and identify a very annoying rattle/squeak from my driver's side A pillar. It only occurs going downhill, which is bizarre to say the least.

Looking forward to hanging with you all again!

Surprised I see no desire to fender roll in here. Oh well. So be it. Continue to whip the 4 wheelers if you must.

If I drive I will. Most likely riding with Dan who might.

I don't need it but if someone wants to do it for me I'll pick up the tab on their lunch. I have no desire to learn how so whatever.

I mean....I actually know how walnut blasting occurs, but how does it occur in somebody's garage vice a legit shop?
