Hi,Barbara! 

In the field ,Steel Wool 0000 Pad or 3M Scotch-Bright Pad will clean-up those parts nicely 

In a shop setting,3M Light Deburring Wheel,running at 3400 RPM's will make old rusty parts look like new in a matter of seconds.. 

Good Luck..

Howdy, 

I'm rebuilding this lyre and was wondering if one just cleans this type of assembly or should a lubricant, like Protek MPL-1, be used after cleaning? There only seems to be rust there right now. 

Since I'm mostly a service tech, I usually just deal with squeaky pedals...I'd like to keep this one from making noise in the first place, if possible. 

Thanks,
