You aware of the pipe device to soak way/bench tubes? A pint will work, but you might need to do one end at a time if a pint does not cover it entirely.

P.S. supposedly you can cover the part with a rag and soak it that way, but I have not had much luck with that(it evaporates!!!). Also the evaporation causes a very thin deposit of black oxide
Tractor Supply (TSC) has it for $20 a gallon, regular price. If they are in your area.
1984 Mark V 500 and an early 1954 greenie. jointer, belt sander, bandsaw, jigsaw, planner.
