Yeah I have a 2'' wide piece of steel running the entire length of the tube. It's working now. I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right so I didn't have to wait 24 hours to find out that it didn't work. Thanks.

Sorry about the bad quality. It was taken with my phone because I can't find my camera.

It only seems to be removing the rust on part of it. I just started it like 20 minutes ago. Is this normal or will it cover the whole thing eventually?

I'm just having all kinds of issues taking this whole thing apart. Can anyone tell me how take what I think is called the quill housing apart? Thanks.

I managed to get the pin out. I didn't use the correct size, so like you said dusty, it did flare. I do plan on getting new ones once I start to reassemble.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks a lot, ddvann79!

I'm new to this so I have no idea on how to remove this Base Arm Pin or Retaining Ring. HELP PLEASE!

I attached a photo. Not really sure how to make it post on my thread.

I was just given a SS 500. The way tubes are a little rusted so I tried WD40 and scrubbed it with a wire brush. It didn't help much but I read that naval jelly works great. I'll give it shot. Any ideas??
