Time to put the gear on
All three gear legs are powder coated to prevent rust. There are two unprotected areas where the metal of the gear meets the metal of the engine and main gear mounts. In order to prevent rust, I'm putting some axle grease on these areas. It also helps in the sliding of these dudes into position, since it's such a tight fit. I got this small packet of axle grease from Pep Boys Auto Supply.
