Soak it for a day or two in a container of EvapoRust. After removing - use a toothbrush to remove any residue. Then wash off thoroughly with water. Dry with paper or shop towels. Then spray liberally with WD40. Then store inside a large zip lock baggie.
I have used this method on all kinds of hand tools that over time have gotten some corrosion on them. I live on a barrier island so anything not inside a tool box or tool cabinet is going to get it.
I buy my Evaporust by the 5 gal. pail. Then after removing the top of the container, just drop my tools right into the pail. Pull them out after a day or two and follow above method.
EvapoRust is also available in a one gallon container but I use it for my motorcycle work so makes sense to buy it in bulk.
Good luck!
