Here is what I came up with. I was spending way too much time at Home Depot and OSH trying to find the right drill extension, etc., when it occurred to me that I could just have a piece of 1/2" rod welded to a small wire brush. (D'oh)...

Looks like this:




Between that tool and a rag w/ some lacquer thinner on it, (pushed through w/ special tool), I wound up here:



Then I used part of the same rod with a sponge weenie roller attached to it to coat the inside of the tube w/ red oxide rust inhibitor primer. I'm sure that the factory would have done this if they understood metallurgy in those days.

This is the same stuff that I used on the T-bars a few pages back, they were just starting to get pitted.






You can actually see a little chunk missing from the lip of bushing race in that last photo so this was done none-too-soon. It is all still solid, though.
