is it safe to use a rust remover, like naval jelly, to remove rust on the wheel hub flange (NOT on the rotors)?

or should i just leave it alone?

 

y wouldnt it be? if you don't then those parts will deteriorate quicker

 

Wire brush and a coat of WD-40. It will be fine.

 

 

thanks

i'm guessing PB Blaster instead of WD-40 will be fine?

 

I am getting approx 5whp from the rust on mine, i have slotted & drilled rotors, with rust. Think that makes a difference???

 

Wire brush then rust converter (sold at autozone, etc)...once dry your good, or you can spray with primer.........cover studs, dont get paint on the threads..

^ sure if you waNt to lose the 5 whp.

 

I think I will also pick up some of that anti-seize lube because the backs have a lot of rust on the hub and my spacers were tough to get off.

 

mud on tires gives you extra traction and increases acceleration
