I've never had really good luck with rust removers in general. They always seem to leave that little bit in the corners. A good sandblasting though gets all that nasty rust out !
I also played with using electrolysis to clean up a slave cylinder.
I just use the sand blaster to clean-up the air-pac housings. Then a little honing and all is good !
The reason most don't mention it, is that it is not used on all models. There where several different models of air-pacs in service for our deuce's brake system. I mentioned it in one of my rebuild threads for the air-pac. I just bought some 'O' rings from the big 'O' ring supplier in Kirkland...
I would remove the pressure switch on the end of the air-pac. They are nothing but trouble. Go with the air-line pressure switch conversion that the military recommends. A simple brake air switch from any truck shop will work.

Yes those boxes of parts bought and stored away for later use. It's like Christmas time when I come across some now since I've forgotten of a lot of things I've already bought !
Zanther , looks like your a neighbor ! I'm between Woodinville and Duvall myself. Drive by Maltby all the time. Especially in spring time going out to "Flower World" .
