Removing Rust Form Hubs
How do I or should I remove the surface rust from my hubs? Is it only cosmetic or should I worry about it resulting in future problems?

if it's not flaking layers of metal I'd leave it alone, it's normal. If you want them to be fancy it would take a lot wire brushing to clean them up. In the past I've brushed them primiered and painted them flat black. Before I painted them I would spray them down with a Brake cleaner to get all the oils off.
