Default No such thing as toomuch.... I think...

I used a lye solution in a 45 gallon plastic drum........

.....got some pure lye powder from the rural HomeHardware used for horses......

....used about half of a 4 litre plastic container.....solution was very caustic but it sure degreased the part like thunder.

I used a strip of stainless steel 18 inches wide hanging around the whole perimeter.......

...solution was superconductive requiring a 10 amp battery charger and two 12 volts batteries...... within the hour the axle housing hanging from the tractor bucket was derusted, degreased and both batteries were flat out and the charger was clicking on and off on overload.

Rince & dry in the hot sun... spray with mild Phosphoric acid....dry in the sun...paint with POR 15....

....serves 4 hungry people!!!!!

Watch your jeans....leaves nasty pinholes.......makes you look like a punk rocker....
