-rinse with clean water
-allow it to dry and apply more coats if needed
-allow the metal to dry for 24 hours to ensure no moisture is trapped when applying a final finish
-this will neutralize old rust and prevent new rust from forming as well

Method #2
-using white vinegar and submerging the parts in a container
-clean up the piece slightly with either sandpaper or a wire brush
-allow it to soak for a day or two, depending on the severity of the rust
-once satisfied, rinse with water and give it a clean up using an abrasive pad

Method #3

-there is a variety of blasting equipment along with media available on the market
-normally a larger air compressor is required considering a sandblaster is a direct air loss
-this will remove the rust with minimal work, access any pitted areas as well, and strip areas to bare metal

Method #4

-there are a variety of tools that can be used such as a drill, angle grinder, hand held sander, rotary tool, etc
-with these tools, you will have a variety of attachments or options such as grinding disks, sanding disks, sanding pads, abrasive pads, wire wheels, grinding stones, flap wheels, etc
-in the video a hand held sander is used along with 180 grit sandpaper
-unfortunately due to the pitting, the sandpaper is unable to reach those lower areas
-sometimes an abrasive pad can tackle that, other times you will need to use a wire wheel
