[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1036852, member: 175144"] I was given a Bosch drill from a customer which needed replacement brushes to get going. All done, but the shaft near the bearing (and part of the bearing cage) at the front of motor cage has suffered over the years it has been in storage, with some corrosion on the shaft which, if I don't deal with it might shower the new parts with rust particles that will get thrown off. So, what do people use these days to clear up corrosion ? I would normally use a small wire brush to get rid of the loose parts, then coat the remainder in light oil and grease, but this isn't really an option in this case. For smaller items I have been known to use the full-fat coco cola and leave overnight, and this gets rid of dirt and other in most metals, but doesn't work particularly effectively with iron. I do have a small ultrasonic tank, but I might be doing more damage with warm soapy water. Is there a reducing agent in a pot out there that can deoxidise rust ? [/QUOTE]
