Today, when I was trying to clean the threaded inside end of the air bag end
where the air enters...if you follow, was to use a plumbers tube cleaning
brush, like that for cleaning 1/2 copper elbows....extremely effective.
Holding any nut in a vice would be just as effective to clean the threads I
would think.

Y'all may have done the same thing yourselves a dozen times, but it was a
discovery for me ! <g>

Those little wire brushes for cleaning battery terminals work too. You can clean bolt threads with the one end of it.

My local hardware store has an extensive selection of brass gun cleaning bushes. They work great with the available handle and I also chuck them into a drill. Sizes available from 22cal to 12ga shotgun.

Excellent...lol
And since no one has a gun in Canada (snicker, snicker) there would already
be one in almost every house. What every house 'doesn''have is a plumber
lol
Thanks Steve
