So Im trying out a vinegar soak on my brake drums. I used a small hammer and a wire brush for scraping corrosion and getting close to bare metal. Then I put them in a tub and filled it with several gallons of distilled white vinegar. As of now it's been about 3 hours; I'll pull them at 5 and see how they are. Then I'll check them in the morning.
When they're done I'll rinse with the hose and maybe scrub with aluminum foil if i need to. Then dust with baking soda (to stop acidic vinegar), wash, and rinse.
I have heard this will pit the inside of the drums, but I need to have the drums turned before reshoeing anyway (again, so I've heard)
Also I bought a can of BBQ spray paint to put on them, I heard it works well. I don't think I'm supposed to paint the inside so I won't.
Has anyone done this before? How did it turn out?
