Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

The shocks were given a quick power wash to remove most of the exterior gunk. It was really nice to see the original khaki green #3 come up. I then removed the two shock links. They took a bit of work to get the tapered shaft to release from the shock arm. I found that using a steel block and then hitting it with a ball peen hammer got them to release. After that was done the shocks were given a quick sandblast in the cabinet. I find this makes them much nicer to work on. It also revealed a number of cast and stamped markings. I intend to make up a mounting bracket as found in the maintenance manual to work on them. But that will be another day.
