Hi

I used the wire brush method as well, they came up pretty good. I also used some evil stuff from a chemical company that was a bit like oven cleaner. While washing chemical stuff off, it ran into the bearings, I was going to change them anyway.

I replaced my bearings after cleaning too. Just as a personal rule, i replace all seals and bearings on any used stuff i get.

Just keeping the rust off for ya

I would just go for Simple Green and wire wheel. It should go quickly.

The bearings are good so I would try and keep them in good shape to reuse.

Hey Adrian,

I'm putting in a new dishwasher so I should freak my wife out and toss one in with her some dishes!

Anyone need a roomate? I'll need a place to stay after that one...

Kinda like putting her on Punk'd!
