I recently noticed that my R8000 pedal axles are hollow and open to the elements via the 8mm hex head. I've got a bit of rust going on inside there - not enough to worry about, but enough that I might want to remove a bit before I put some grease on a cotton bud and try to coat the inside. Is there an efficient and clean way to remove the rust chemically, or am I best just trying to jam some steel wool in there using a spoke or a bamboo skewer or something?
Any bright ideas? Cheers!

I should have searched before starting this topic. Can't figure out how to delete it though. Sorry!
