Hello
Dave Canfield here, Glenmont NY. I am relatively new (62 yrs old) in getting into the car modifications hobby.
I have a 1955 / 4 door Chevy BelAir.
I am working on replacing glass in both the front and the rear doors. Plus changing the vinyl fabric finishes and doorhandles.
I am looking for some information/direction on taking the door apart to access\complete this work.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dave Canfield… 518-365-3319

The important part after any method you use is to wipe it with oil until the final wiping cloth comes out clean. I refer Marvel Mystery Oil or Type "F" auto trans fluid just because I have used both for decades but most any good detergent oil will work fine.

This was really great to know. I'm old fashioned from the old days. Thanks very much. Gregory Borzewski from: American Brake Lube & Parts.

Most important is detergent with no sodium!

I always did an initial washing with Dawn in hot water using vegetable brushes on all the machined surfaces, followed by the ATF, which, in my case, has always been B&M Trick Shift; it has a heavier "grit" to it. I then hit it again with the Dawn/hot water/veggie brush on the entire block. Hit it with compressed air. I'm then very liberal with wiping everything down with acetone; using up 1/2 gallon is a common occurrence. If assembling the engine is the next step, I coat all machined surfaces with non-detergent 50W, otherwise spray the whole block down with WD-40.

Clean the cylinders as best as you can. Think they are clean now? Take a pressure washer to them,-it will remove a lot of metal you couldn't see. You then have to quickly dry and oil them. Been doing this for 40 years on industrial engines and my own projects.
