believe it or not
beet juice..!!!!!
it comes in a 5 gal bucket
just plop the flanged ends in the bucket
over night..
will remove all the rust.
put it on the axle shafts thick and wrap with seran wrap..over night.
will remove all rust.
learned this trick from a neighbor who restores old guns...he soaks all the little parts..
they come out like new. sans some left over pitting..
fwiw.
cheapst

my dad bought some from a snake oil salesman at a show....
it was called rustbeeter or beeterust or something like that.
it took the paint off of an ammo box..fwiw.

i also read somewhere...a guy used beet juice and a batt charger low amps..and some how sped up the process.?(annode -cathode)
