Anmyone have suggestions on how to get moisture out of a free wheel? Heating with a torch?
WD40. That's what it's for. WD stands for Water Displacer. Get it warm (take it inside) then just let fly with a BUNCH of WD40. Douse it. If you lube after that, use a very thin oil. WD40 is not intended to be a lubricant.
