I had a spare transfer case lever so the best one was pulled apart and placed into the molasses tank along with hundreds of other small bits.

Here it is being pulled apart before it went in the tank. It unscrewed like it was put together yesterday.

I mentioned earlier that all bolts had had something placed on the threads and when they were unscrewed there was this greyish colour to the threads.

I wish I knew what they used in those days. Today I use 'Never-seize" when I want something to come apart at a later date.
