… started cleaning up my new rear axle
@Ami sorted for me. Lots of wire brushing to remove loose rust. Not going to do a detailed guide as there are already two excellent write ups on the forum but thought I might post some pics as things progress

Pretty grubby. Starting to clean up nicely
It‘s actually really sound. I took loads of photos of the bushes so I can get new ones back in correctly
Next steps:
Some more wire bushing
Some electrolytic cleaning of certain areas
Getting the old bushes out
Blast cleaning and I think zinc coating, not sure yet
