I'm doing a knuckle rebuild on the 80 and was curious if anyone has a mechanic buddy with one of these. Or a shop in town that would let me pay and drop off parts for cleaning?

I have one of the enzyme ones that I think needs a new heating element. Yours for free if you pick it up. It’s a nice big basin and has two sprayers. Works really well despite not having any solvents.

A plastic tub and a gallon of mineral spirits works well for that.

My setup is similar. Rubbermaid tub with a couple of gallons of road diesel and some brushes. Get your kid out there doing it. Right of passage for any cruiser kid learning how to rebuild axles. :)
