The rod that comes up through my ultra vibe 10mb is rusting. How do I get the rust off and out of the threads?
Thanks, Andrea

I use a 3M gold scrubby. Rio sells it. I'll look for it. Comes in a roll in a box.

I would use a wire brush and a good quality penetrating oil like PB Blaster or Aero Kroil, then use a good rust inhibitor to prevent it from returning, possibly some type of anti seize.

It may also be possible to replace the rod if needed.

The rod is most likely 1/4" - 20 threaded. Go to your local hardware store and get a replacement rod in stainless steel. Ask for all thread rod. That's what it's called. Stainless steel = no rusting. Be sure to get stainless steel nuts too.
