Combat wheels ready for sandblasting

The combat wheels are now ready to go to the sandblaster! Now I just have to find one...



The final task (which I finished today) was to pound out the bolts, which were rusted in quite solidly. I put a nut on the bolts before going to work in an effort to save the bolts. A few of them required 20+ violent hits with the hammer to get out. They all came out, but here is the nut that I used on all of the bolts (on the right) after getting them all out. Compare with the "normal" one on the left!
