I ground down all sharp edges with a dremel and wire wheel on cordless drill. Feels pretty smooth. Weather is kinda crappy and humid so initial paint coat on one arm is looking like poop. My air compressor is junk so I am considering a new one (not sure yet) if I get that then I can sand blast them and paint. Also getting ready to replace the steering rack while I m down there and engine is out. Problem is the rebuilt rack has a tear in one of the boots Hopefully the rack coming out will have that boot still good. Point is might be a few days before I get them together and in. I am considering new ball joints and tie rod ends too depending on $. The hard part is done though. Pics will come when I put the bushings in and do the install.
