And, would you consider your method to be successful? Because, from
here, it seems not to be so much.

I don't know if it is easy but a soak in muratic acid or vinegar will do it. That acid is nasty stuff to breath or get in your eyes though.

actually...once I made a new part, to replace the one I broke out of
stupidity and a brain fart..the descaling went right along just hunky
dory. I planed the hot rolled scale off the pieces, flattening them
and squaring them up. I only now have to cut the 45" angle on the ends
of the fingers.

Want a picture of the new crank assembly I made? I took one for my
records. How often can you say you manufactured something out of
hydroflorinated silly putty?

Gunner, who will be pulling his transmission tomorrow to install a new
throwout bearing and slave cylinder..****ing Ford engineers.....

If it is not too heavy, just pick up the scale and move it to another
location.

Excellent. Now you've got me wanting a shaper and/or a brake. Hm.
Anyone got plans for a home-made brake that doesn't suck?

I'd love to see that. If you don't have webspace I can put 'em up for
you (standing offer to the group). My email is real.

I like my old Saabs where the slave cyl, at least, is external.

OK, I've got to stop drinking coffee while I read this group. That's
twice this week now.

The one I made isn't to bad but it's not a finger brake. You can see
the pics I made of it in the dropbox. Easiest is to access via my site
at the following.

Scroll down to 2001 and then down to brake.

You're welcome. Just be aware that there's a lot of grinding to get
everything straight after welding. :-)
