UPDATE: My freind owns a repair shop in Auburn,WA and has a commercial Ball Joint Press Kit with All the misc pieces.
We were able to pry off All Three of the Dust Boot Rings using Screwdrivers.....Messed up the edges just a little bit but I able to use a power flapper wheel to dress everything up.
Wanted to use my Original Arms, Off my low mileage 70 Z as they are in great shape
& born with the car.
So I soaked the 50 year old lower joints in paint remover first and EVAPORUST 2nd.
They came out pretty nice. Seems like two of the lowers show what appears faded yellow zinc plating on end with zerc fitting. No pitting of the metal but there is remanants of the corrosion showing upon the metal.
Dont have pictures ready to upload here.............
Question: Dont know what I can further do to make the exposed metal area (around zerc)
look better........OR paint that area with Stainless Steel PAINT............OR Appy EMS paste and can it good .....If I glass bead, leaves the metal White, Then I do vibrate in my Big Tumbler to semi polish the glass beaded area back to look like ???
I also have One NOS Upper and One Used 1st design Upper to try and make look "better"
