cleaning old greasy/rusty parts

[Even]

Anybody got any good homemade ways of cleaning old greasy/rusty parts? Obviously i don't have a parts washer and i don't have the money to buy all brand new shit so i gotta make do with what i got. For example hubs/axleshafts/spindles/etc.

I was planning on very lightly sanding off any rust, then put them all on some sort of grate up off the ground, pick up a shit ton of cans of degreaser and go to town with that followed by a rising with the hose.

Obviously everything will be properly lubed up afterwards.

brake cleaner

forgot to add that in, that shit is magic


some of the spots are hard to reach with a brush or wire wheel, i think i'm gonna pick up some extra cans of PB too so i can spray that in there before i really start degreasing/cleaning to losen up any rust that i can't reach

kerosine is what a lot of people use in parts washers.

so would kerosine with like a stiff metal brush be good?

Yes, just like I said. Most parts washers use a kerosene product and a stiff brush
