I don't understand this statement. Don. Sorry. Verdigris is a copper compound, as far as I know. I presumed that it was from copper used in the plating of the pins ( under the nickle ) that reacted to something in the elt to cause the oxidation. Yes, brake-part cleaner works well to blast/dissolkve verdigris out of bushings. But unless non-copper containing varieties are used to replace the pins, one can assume it will; return. At least that is my assumption. Sarahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Heeeeeeeelp!!!!
