[QUOTE="thill, post: 511921, member: 4972"] Not a bad thought that I've heard before. Unfortunately, it won't work for a gunked-up, rusty steering system. A gun brush is typically brass, to protect your bore. You will need a very stiff steel brush to remove heavy, hardened grease and rust from a steering tube. And often, you need more than that, as described above. Fortunately these are very easy to get. 1/2" fitting brushes can be had almost anywhere that sells plumbing stuff. More common, stronger and cheaper than a gun brush. Plus, you would ruin your nice Hoppe's cleaning kit the first 30 seconds! [/QUOTE]
