Removing air compressor

[RJ03]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has done this and what I should look out for. The plate which the compressor sits on is rusting badly, I want to remove it, grind and sand the rust off, prime and paint it. Looking for any hidden gotcha's. Thanks, RJ03

SPRAY THE BOLTS DOWN WITH KROIL B4 SO THEY COME OUT EASY .

It is a pretty easy job. The assembly is fairly heavy so be careful when you loosen that last bolt ;)

The driveshaft on mine is rusty but I just haven't figured out how to get under there when it is spinning so I can paint the whole thing!
