Wire brush followed by brushed of coats of Evaporust worked very well.
It's not great but is much better and I ran out of daylight.
Falcon; no problem with wheel removal but not worth relacing the hub with these spokes and rim (for imersion and blasting)
I have an aluminum rim with decent spokes ready to go on this winter but thought I'd wear the existing tire down some more.

Then again, this could be an excuse to buy a small media blaster and use up some walnut shells or maybe even try some corn cob media!

No wonder your teeth always look so white.

Both Steve Chandler and I had some aluminum stained by Simple Green.
Probably cause it got missed by the wipe rag.
I'm guessing you haven't had this problem.

Jim, I reckon that soda blasting is the best option

see this DIY equipment

I haven't used it myself but I hear that it does work and the soda isn't too aggresive on chosen parts

Good luck, as John already said the only way is to disassemble the hub, but this may be a temporary solutiuon :thumbup:


I had good luck with that system:
