Several of key heavy duty steering pieces I was able to address by: 1) using a empty 5 gallon bucket holding the pitman arm & then the less heavier item in it. I removed the heavy packed soil & grease; 2) using a spray can of engine degreaser in the bucket did further clean up followed by wiping down with acetone; & 3) painted using rattle can black. More to follow with the butt of the steering mechanism which holds the bearings & what not. See pics.
