Half-shafted

Since most of the drive line is out of the 280z, I've been cleaning up some of the parts that I have removed.  In this case, I am working on the half-shafts.  Using a LOT of engine degreaser, a wire wheel on a drill, and brushes, I cleaned an prepped the shaft for painting.  The prep-and-paint covered some surface rust that had emerged after 40 years.


With the shaft now clean, I can screw a zerk fitting into the universal joints and send some new grease into those needle bearings.
