Week 5: Cleaning




This week we have a lot of cleaning to do, we took apart the wheels the previous week and all we have to do now is clean the individual parts. The hubs and calipers we really dirty and needed heavy duty cleaning. We used de-greaser, cotton swabs and rags to clean the parts individually.

                                       



                                                    (Hub)




Besides cleaning we didn't do much, we were able to clean all 
                            the dirty parts bagged them.
