I took the entire front section off, it only involved unbolting the tuner and unsoldering a half dozen wires, cleaned it with Rust Remover and painted it with Silver paint. I cleaned the tuner contacts and lubed the tuner shaft.

This process also unavoidably removed the stamped inspection markings and a paper warning label but I took good clear pictures of those and will print them out and glue them on in the same locations.
Yeah, well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do...I DETEST a nasty dirty filthy chassis, it just offends my Germanic sense of order...
