Monty,
I knew about this.
Why am I mad? I spent all those
years sanding, grinding and
otherwise
working WAYYYYY too hard. WHY
didn't somebody clue me in? WHY
was this
never
mentioned in any of those damn
hot rod books I wasted so much
money on?
Muriatic acid, (Hydrochloric acid) is available at
builders supply stores. Used to etch concrete prior to painting. This is 2%
Hydrochloric in water. Light yellow color. Stay out side for this one. Stay up
wind. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.
Use only plastic containers. Only store in the original
container. Dissolves oxides of iron completely. Dissolves most nonferrous
metals. You will need to replace the rotor bearings. Works
like magic. Rinse with water and baking soda
mixture.to neutralize
acid. Done over limestone gravel spills will dissolve into
gravel and be neutralized.
Lower (washed of oil and grease), rusted part into acid.
Cover and let stand for several hours. No rust will be left on
the part.
