    That certainly is messy, some serious soaking to get that loose.

    I soaked a master brake cylinder that was about as gunked up as that in fresh brake fluid and managed to get the bulk of it off.
    The rest came off with Inox!

    That is a lot of rust, you have some serious amount of cleaning ahead of you.
    You are going to need a few bottles of red before this lot is up to spec.
    We will be watching for more updates, go hard my friend.:thumb_ups:

    You're a brave man. I'll stick around to see how it ends. BTW, I love your lazy Susan bike stand. You're obviously a very handy and inventive guy.

    Cheers

    Looks like this will keep you busy during the long winter nights. Have you considered buying yourself a small sand blasting cabinet, would be a big help with all the rusty/corroded bits.
