So the weights and bottom half of the advance mech aren't going to come out unless I remove the shaft? Also, given that I don't have a bead blaster, any other suggestions to remove the surface rust (other than soaking them and using a wire brush, which I is what I'm doing).

Do you know the exact bushings and where I can buy them?

Lastly, do I need any special hi-temp grease when I reassemble, or will garden variety automotive grease work fine?
