[AMC-list] Citric Acid Axle Rust Test Results are in

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,
I tried out the homemade deruster today and it works ... BUT ... it takes way too long for my liking.  I ran the rear axlew under the sprinkler stream for about 4 hours today, and heated the water up too.  I could see signs of the rust being removed (yellow water) and decided to wirebrush the area while being sprayed.  A lot of the rust came right off ... down to bare metal.  See the pics link, below.
 
While it did "work", the citric acid would take a couple of days to de-rust an entire axle.  IMHO ... too long ... considering that the www.ridrust.com product will clean the area being sprayed in 20-minutes.  At that rate, an entire axle could be done in probably 2-3 hours.
 
Here's the link to the pics ... http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=110547
