[QUOTE="fullmoon, post: 98390, member: 1632"] O.K. More work to do. How do you guys suggest I attack the rust on the leaf springs and wheels? My plan is: Remove the tires, drill with wire brush for the wheels down to bear metal, prime and paint. I'm not sure the best plan for the leaf springs. Every trailer I've ever owned eventually the leaf springs will rust. Any suggestions for removing rust (wire brush again?), and any tricks to coat them to atleast slow down the rust? Paint or possibly the anti-corrosion spray, or a combination of both? Thanks. I won't have much time to work the next few weeks. We're heading down to Florida for fishing, etc. in my other boat. I'll post some pics of that as well. Hopefully there will be some fish in the pictures. I am obsessed with catching a tarpon this year. Bow to the king! [/QUOTE]
