Remove rust from inside of the frame

How to get the rust out from inside of the frame.

[@theeviltwin2417]

Put your cable thru some 1/2" pvc pipe, to control the binding. Tape your shop vac hose to a length of garden hose, to clean the remains out of the frame.

[@christianbrewsky7934]

Great idea. Thank you!

[@HuntsT]

Was going to leave the same comment. Great minds think alike ;)

[@burtreynolds3143]

I was thinking the pipe or tube too and maybe just crimp the cable and fray out the ends to get deep in the corners. I like this better than a round wire brush because it gets those inside corners. It's like a weed whacker for rusty pipes and tubes.

[@bobobrazil1973]

Or get an ex that blows anything😄

Im about to start rustproofing my landcruisers inner frame rails to increase the trucks longevity and stumbled on your video. Pure genius. My cruiser is a california truck and never registered out of state, im gonna run magnets thru the frame first to see if i have any problem areas first. If i find any ill definitely use that chain-chimney sweep method to knock it all out. Once ive coated my frame inside and out, im gonna spray come heavy cosmoline around the pinchwelds and seams where the paint possibly wont reach. To finish it off ill fog corrosion x on the inner door panels, a pillars, engine compt, etc... It sounds like alot, but if i d.i.y, i should have a much more rustproof treatment than what the 'professionals' would provide you with... And it should cost less than 2 years worth of their services.

Sometimes the best tools are the homemade ones! Great job brother, keep up the good work!

[@sl3ndermmo]

yes sir

[@spencereagle1118]

I find about half a dozen 12 gauge birdshot shotgun cartridges fired from either end of the frame work a treat - remember to wear safety glasses.

[@sl3ndermmo]

Holy shit dude, that's genius. And it will kill 2 birds with one shotgun. It will expose the thin, weak spots that need to be fixed

[@spencereagle1118]

@@sl3ndermmo Don't forget to tell the neighbors what you are doing.

[@kelvinromero]

Man, I was looking for something to clean up inside of my bench press machine (that I forgot for sometime in my backyard), and this definitively will help.

[@sl3ndermmo]

definitely, im sure it will work fine

[@garthrichert5256]

You have made such a helpful video. It's a fantastic idea. May I respectfully recommend that the chain links be driven by a length of that threaded bar.

[@thomasg4324]

*I created several lengths of PVC tubing, which I crushed the ends of, and then screwed in chains.* I later realized I could drill holes into the PVC, and then I shot compressed air through the PVC whilst I was flailing the rust. This blew out the rust as it was being knocked loose, and let me know when the area was done, so I could move on. I used the same technique to center, and slowly spin the spray nozzles. And I used a warm can on a cold night. This helped the spray cling evenly within the frame, rather than drip. #GreatVideo

[@sl3ndermmo]

Man that’s a great idea

[@oifovo]

Great idea, I've pulled it through a length of garden hose, this allows you to hold it and it doesn't go all over the place as you pull it out!

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

That's a pretty good idea. Once you got the rust knocked off, You should get a high powered air blower and just shoot it in there to blow it all too one end, then pull the rust flakes off. After that, i'd spray some oil in all the holes to help prevent more rust form forming. You'll never get it all but you will drastically increase the lifespan of that frame.

[@JohnKing-zc2ne]

Could you put the cable inside something like a black water pipe to stop it swinging so much when you get out near the back of the frame? Would give more control for little €€€ if it worked

[@sl3ndermmo]

Yes u can, I ended up putting it inside heater hose, worked great

[@kmet2000]

Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing. Nylon pneumatic hose and some lubrication will do the whole trick. Nylon tube is flexible, low friction and wear resistant. Many diameters to choose from and cheap to buy.

[@tomc8157]

I found a 5 foot 3/8 fiberglass rod, I used lathe to drill a 1/4" hole in one end and shoved a big wire wheel into it for a interference fit then drilled a hole through the middle of rod with a roll pin securing it. Attach to drill and shove it through a few times. Wire wheel is flexible enough to squeeze through while spinning and it gets everything. Worked quite well. How I clean out my holes for my Meyers plow frame where the head gear slides in.

[@sl3ndermmo]

Man that’s awesome!! Great idea

[@akjay412]

that's a good idea thanks for the vid, something to make that better not to bind up might be to put some of the line threw any kind of hollow tube or piping to keep some of it straight

[@williamcharles9480]

Think about maybe using a length of 1/4 inch cable. It shouldn't flop around quite as much and give you a little more control. To stiffen the cable a bit more, use some 5/16 inch vinyl fuel line hose slid over the cable from the drill end. It'll stiffen the cable enough for it to be slid into the frame, but not so much as to dampen the action of the chain thrashing around. To stiffen it more use some 3/8 inch CPVC Pipe, leave about a foot of the chain end exposed. As for the chain, use a closed link type. It won't get hung up in the frame. This is just a thought. I appreciate the video, I've got some rust to rattle out of a frame myself.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

I think I will make one with threaded rod , thanks for the informative video..

[@steelmill2928]

Great idea I do a lot of Jeep Restorations that works perfect

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

Like other people have said, put the cable inside of something. I suggest a hose slightly bigger than the cable. That way you can bend it around parts frame unlike a pipe. I ordered a 50' hose to connect with my pressure washer that has 3 nozzles to help clean out the inside, haven't tried it yet though. I might try that if I see some heavy build up with a camera system I got. I'd might use short pieces of cable instead of chains though.

[@sl3ndermmo]

Ya great idea, thank you

[@BernardBouchard-qq9kq]

That cable utility Co's use to anchor poles.

[@llewvirtue861]

Neat idea thanks, I have just done this on a truck. Be Shure to use a rust converter after that, one that has a built in sealer as well before painting

[@sl3ndermmo]

Yes sir

[@levigeorge6357]

Try a plumbers drain unclogging snake tool. The 25 ft drain snake should do the job.

[@jdhitc]

What if you just use the wire and frayed the ends a good amount to make a bunch of small wire like wire wisk. Wont get stuck on anything

[@sl3ndermmo]

Great idea

[@MandrakeRoots]

Genius! Thanks for the upload

[@johnj2496]

Awesome idea I'm going to do this and I've got jeep Cherokee so unibody yeah 😠. So I'm going to make one for smaller passages Just take the cable and unwravble it s it's all frayed out and maybe put a crimp about inch and 2 back so it unraveling stops at x big then to get it to shove thu small hole have a hard tube that shoves them all in together to get it shoved in frame hole

[@sl3ndermmo]

yes sir, thats a great idea. someone also said just run the cable through a hose or something

[@theonethatruns]

Thank you Brian.

[@sl3ndermmo]

You are welcome brother

[@SuperCoyotecaller]

Small sandblaster is cheap then use Eastwood rust encapsulated paint

[@edwardmulder3777]

Pretty clever idea

[@EFD620G]

Buy a long piece of 1/4 " all thread and put the chain on it, no twisting

[@Eastbaystunna]

I have a 2009 g8 and it has rust flakes inside the frame rail there still really solids gonna do the same thing and por 15 it

[@sl3ndermmo]

Hell ya, i heard por 15 is really solid. I used about 10 cans of 3m undercoating, it definitely did the job but started getting expensive

[@Eastbaystunna]

@@sl3ndermmo yea man it was a Ohio car for 9 years thank god it’s in Cali now lol

[@WIZARDWERX]

neat trick

[@dennisw1958]

Put inside 3/8 copper tube or 1/4 to your length

[@corymetzker818]

how well did it turn out brian?

[@sl3ndermmo]

Cory Metzker well, it definitely helped. but it takes forever to get all the powder and chips out. so i finally bought an air compressor and blew it all out. but... youre going to need to make a few of them and i had to use smaller pieces of chain for the end. and the biggest improvement i made is a piece of fuel line. cut a piece of fuel line the length of the cable and run the cable through it and u can really go to town on it without it getting caught and bound up. good luck buddy :)

[@corymetzker818]

brian james I'm in the same boat as you man dam toyotas. looking forward to other videos. thank you

[@billjunking_fool5549]

AIR HAMMER 🔨🔨🔨

Ya I tried an air hammer on my 93 to find all the thin metal, by punching holes in it lol.

[@marcinotrebski9345]

Watch out you walking on asbestos tiles

[@sl3ndermmo]

I knew it, that’s what my dad told me

[@MrChrometurd]

I'm thinking about making something like this with an old speedo cable

[@hallhouse5098]

you can also use a longer drill operated plumbing snake . its a cable inside a plastic sheath and only the inside cable spins. you can remove the spiral snake thing from the end and crimp your chain on just like you did.

[@sl3ndermmo]

Hall House ya that would work for sure

[@thebanjoman1963]

Instead of cable.. fiberglass rods from a dryer vent cleaning kit.. They should be flexible enough, but strong enough to no bind up. I've got to do this to my box tubed frame, that's what I'll be using

[@archangel20031]

A piece of 1/4 all thread with 2 or 3 of those spaced 3 or 6 inches apart held with nuts is better.

[@edsweb7]

Use a piece of 3/4" pvc pipe to hold the line. I use a 1/4"rod.

[@ryanflippin1243]

I swear I saw a mouse inside your frame on passenger side!?

[@sl3ndermmo]

Lolol

[@joelung9070]

Feed the cabling through a piece of conduit leaving the end exposed with the chains out about a foot. Fire up the drill work it slow let it do its thing... Walk backwards a little at a time. Done! Take some brake line a long piece as much as you need connect one end to your compressor blow it all out... Save yourself some money don't use that internal frame stuff from Eastwood. Used motor oil, rustoleum rusty metal primer, etc.

[@sl3ndermmo]

All great ideas, thank you so much

[@bobobrazil1973]

Tranns fluid..is good too

[@sl3ndermmo]

ahhh ok

[@josephburkhalter5105]

Have you tried running the flex wire thru a pipe say 1 inch to restrict the wobble if the flexing cable? JoeB

[@bigblockmissal]

Perfect timing.Great idea and I'll be using it this weekend

[@ejshelby5460]

Bundle a bunch of bottle cleaner and stick it in back n forth. Then spray Corroseal

[@henryraymond8676]

I like your solution. I might take a look at the sweep idea though. I've used Extend rust neutralizer and it works really well. A couple of coats. Let first coat dry then again. Also, you don't need to remove all the rust to use it. It actually needs some rust to work. Good job.

[@sl3ndermmo]

thx for the input. i almost bought a sweep just for this. now that i actually have a chimney, i might go ahead and get one.

[@HiBye-yt2xb]

Doesnt anybody use naval jelly anymore🤔

[@edwardmulder3777]

Naval jellys good

I have kind of have the same problem but in the hood Pillars of my truck, can’t access it to get rust off was thinking Eastwood how did it hold up after all this time? Rust come back?

Been there, done that, when your done, fluid film it every fall.
