You guys are missing the point. His fasteners have seized up, making the function of the trap inoperable.
He HAS to take the traps apart to replace the hardware, so he is just going to clean up the traps at the same time.
I'm sure he understands how to rust, dye, and wax traps... I agree with yukonal.

Ok so I took the springs and levers off today went a lot faster than the jaws. I was going to take pictures but my phone died so I left the last one so I can show it coming apart and what I used to do it. The springs look pretty good but the threaded section of the big bolts that hold the springs and levers were in bad shape as well as the nylon inserted nuts. Thank goodness for PB Blaster again and a battery impact. I did the first couple with a box end and a socket on a ratchet. The impact just made it much faster and was essential for the frozen ones. You have to use a wrench to back the bolt out of the springs at least I did. I suppose you could drive them out if so desired. I’ll get the pictures tomorrow and post that part of the disassembly. May get a chance to remove the pan and clevis from them then they will be stripped to the frame.

Alright. I took all the traps completely apart. I put all the fasteners and the roll pins in bags. allot of the smaller screws and bolts sheered off. I tumbled all the parts in my cement mixer with 2 bags of play sand and 1 bag of pea gravel. It knocked all the flake rust off and removed about half of the surface rust. I just finished dipping and drying all the parts except the frames in oxpho the rust converter/primer. I will do the frames next. I plan to let them dries for a couple days then dip them in flat black oil based paint mixed with accetone. I am waiting for the stainless cap bolts and nylon inserted stainless nuts for the jaws and the roll pins for the pans. Once I get them in I will reassemble them and ad the new chain which is #3 select with crunch proof 3 links crunch proof 3 links crunch proof. Then they should be ready. The oxpho did an excellent job converting the rust. There are 71 traps and I used 2 gallons of oxpho which I will pour the remainder of back in the bottles for future use. I have taken pictures and will upload them later. All this has happened while setting up 8 and 1/2 dozen new MB550's. Been a busy week.

Anyone that owns a gun and votes democrat deserves to have there gun taken, cause they truly are too stupid to own a gun.
