[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3313414, member: 15054"] Sand the shaft just enough to remove the rough surface rust. Vacuum up the debris so it does not get in under the seal. Clean the shaft with paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Take some cold blueing gun blueing and paper towel and rub it onto the shaft to add blueing to it. Let it dry a bit and paper towel it clean and dry. Blued metal does not rust as bad or as quick as bare steel. Now apply some synthetic wheel bearing grease.. rub it in all over the shaft. Now wipe it all off with a paper towel. as just a small film is all that is needed. Clean the bushings in the tub also with alcohol and then lube very lightly and dry the lube off with paper towels. Thin microscopic film . That is about the best you can do. Will it rust again .. yes eventually. But not near as bad as any other way. [/QUOTE]
