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 . |

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. dave |

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. |
