Update w/ Pics
Some more pics of the suspension pieces freshly blasted and cleared. It is amazing how well things clean up with media blasting. I have found that high temp clear engine paint works the best (apart from powder coating) for keeping parts from getting dirty and allowing for easy cleanup. I have even used it on cam towers and it has not yellowed or fogged over at all. These parts are all from Josh B off the badly wrecked 87' turbo car. Many thanks!
As an aside, I would like to strongly discourage anyone from changing rear wheel bearings unless absolutely necessary. You need about 1000 Ft-Lbs of torque to remove the large nuts holding the stub axles in, which equates to a very large man hanging on the end of a very long piece of pipe.
Pardon the filthy shop floor.... and discarded roll cage door bars...

Funny visual image you paint there with trying to remove that nut
