Quick partial disassembly of Weber genesis 1000


 
Anybody spray the large steel axel with rust reformer? It was covered in rust and I sanded it all off. It rusted again immediately - I’m also thinking of using a galvanizing cold spray but not sure if that is the right thing to use

After I'm done with the axles I spray them with clear coat.
 
Ordered all new fasteners from bolt depot. They sell 6/6 nylon washers which are heat resistant up to 400 degrees. Would I be better off using one of the black washers from the frame for the bolt that goes into the cookbox? Wouldnt the new nylon washers I got from bolt depot melt in that spot?
 
I opt for painting the axles silver. I leave them in the drill (and just barely enough axle in the drill chuck to hold it) and spin them to paint them. Then just leave it in the drill to dry by propping it against something.
