Antilock Sensors

[james accordino]

I used ZincIt spray on all mine almost 1 yr. ago. 
Works fine so far.  I just looked at the front 2
yesterday and they're still clean.  I tried a wire
wheel on the bench grinder first(on a junk one first).
 Using the wire wheel perpendicular to the teeth will
quickly wear them away.  Parallel to the teeth works
pretty well.  I eventually used a sandblaster with
very fine media and was pretty careful with the
pressure.
