Drawing on the experiences reading in this and other forums, I decided to make a "global maintenance" on the HH of my system view that from about 20 years is there doing its work and I think it deserve this rejuvenation. Even the dish will undergo this treatment, for the moment I started with supermount in title.
I will try to be as pragmatic as possible, because the arguments are so many and varied that you are likely to never end ... !!! Sorry for my English approximated but is the result of the very useful google translator, if anyone knows better the technical terms of the individual components of the engine can suggest me the way I correct the 3D.
Just removing the SM looked like this
Some details regarding the rust that is created in the course of decades
Begins the removal of the bolts hex head relative to the actual motor and the covers left and right of the worm
Extracting the non stop screw (don't know what's the correct name in english, I traslate from italian, someone can tell me the correct name ??)
Detail of the rack which is moved by the non stop screw
Here is shown a sequence where the extraction of the rack (not having photos of when she was done, I realized by placing the pieces already "clean")
After a good cleaning rust helped by screwdriver & wire brush and the mythical sandpaper, I rehearsed the surfaces with cloth and nitro solvent to remove debris and degrease it properly. Here the pieces ready for painting. Since I'm still deciding on the color (which will not be black), I will post the pictures in a few days
In this last picture you can see the stainless steel nuts that have replaced the original ones in inches
