Does anyone know if the wheel "studs" come off ? It seems they would be threaded and unscrew but I'm afraid to try fearing damage to the posts and/or breakage.
I can clean them without taking them off if I have to.

It is best you leave them on; these older front axle studs (1-285101-000) haven't been available from Royal/TTI for a decade now.

A great way to clean up those shafts is rust electrolysis , I use this method on all my parts that are rusted.
If you look it up on YouTube it will show you how to do this, it is a very simple method with great results and does not harm the metal.
I have made a small electrolysis bath with stuff around the house .

Thanks

I will not attempt to remove them......I usually use Evaporust on small
parts or use a brass wire wheel.....maybe I'll try to make the electrolysis
unit and see how that compares to Evaporust.

Hey Dave I’m glad you are going to try the electrolysis , I have tried several different types of rust removers over the years and found they are slow and messy and cost$$, I have not tried evaporust so I can’t speak on that.
Once I tried electrolysis I was amazed how fast it worked with little mess and not as much scrubbing afterwards to clean part, my electrolysis bath I made cost me $7.00 in total which will last me years of rust removal, I’m in the process of making a much larger one for my bigger projects.
I would have to say that I’m done with chemical rust removers and won’t be looking back.
