Not necessarily so. An oxalic acid bath will remove rust with zero elbow grease. Same goes for products like Evapo-Rust. The only real labor required is if you need to disassemble the item before dunking it into the liquid. Beyond that, the whole process is submerge for a period of time, rinse, and dry. No abrasives, no scratching, no scrubbing, no little nooks you can't get into.
