Hinge pins

[Slevin]

So mybhinge puns were pretty nasty and has rust built up on them. When I put them back into the a arms they were very stiff. What do you use to clean them?L and remove the grime so they float freely?

I put them in my drill and hit them with a scotch brite and some WD-40 while on a medium speed. After it is as clean as that it will get that way I decide wether to go another step or not. If it still feels gritty or "caked" then I will use 400-600 grit wet sand paper and do the same thing.

And then polish them back up with 1000 grit and then a scotch brite.
