I have to stay with the standard journal size and it should clean up with a
polish but it's the rest of the crank that needs the rust removed thoroughly
some other way.If there is a way of removing slight rusting on the journals
before I polish then it makes for a better job and easier.The crank was
poorly stored and that was because I got to carried away with other things
so that by the time I got back to the crank it had already started to
rust.My other option was to buy little wire wheels for the dremel but this
isn't the most thorough.
