All you need is a bucket, an old battery charger, water, a piece of scrap metal and some crystals but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the crystal but you get them from Tesco or Sainsbury's, mix it all together and you get magic

Just looked it up its washing crystals and attach the positive to the scap part and the negative to the part to be cleaned.

it's soda crystals, you find them in the cleaning aisle. I may well give it a go, but some of my bits are already reconditioned with only light surface rust, so putting them through electrolysis seems like overkill...

edit. cross posting! the ones I got from tesco were called soda crystals. took some finding though!

It really does work well, I wish I had taken a photo of my front hubs before i did them you would have thought I had got them out of a field but they came up like new.

I second Arfon on that.

Electrolyse is not difficult and very efficient. If it can help you, I made a post on my build blog about that.

See the pictures of the rear hubs at the end of the post, it is "miraculous".

Bye.
