Letting some penetrating oil sit in the bottom of this radiator thermometer so that I can disassemble for cleaning... I'll give it a day.
 |
| After a long soaking... All the liquid has evaporated. |
 |
| The nut same off very easily. |
 |
| Didn't take a picture of before taking the base off. All the parts are tarnished, rusty or dirty... |
 |
| All the parts separated, before cleaning. |
 |
| The right one hasn't been cleaned yet... |
 |
| Wire wheeled the nut. It turned out to be brass. |
 |
| Scotchbrite and steel wool... |
 |
| Scotchbrite and steel wool to make the metal more shiny... |
 |
| It's always hot! (the thermometer is broken...) |
 |
| It was quite a bit of work but it cleaned up really nice. |
