Rear End Cleanup, Help?

Woody'sScamp said
Hi, all. I need advice on cleaning up the rear end for painting. I've got the backing plates and coverView attachment 1715281079 soaking in evapo-rust and they are coming out great. Now the best way to do the rest? No heavy rust, just the usual. No blasting equipment, just hand tools, wire wheels, etc. Any suggestion would help. Thanks, Woody.

Here's mine.

Done by hand using pretty close to the same procedure as Garrett Ellison suggested. POR 15 is fantastic to use and leaves a great finish even when brushed on as I did.
