Best way to clean rusty or dirty bolts????
« on: April 03, 2010, 10:41 AM »
Hi, I have took my tuf neck stem apart, and all the
bolts - nuts have some rust or years of shite,
what's the best way to clean?
Did think the lemon way, but someone will have more
experiance than me!!
Cheers Gary

Soaking them in vinegar for a night or two works as well
