Bill,
Before you try a acid, use white vinegar and take a headless nail and clean
out the holes in the bowl. Than add some CLR to the tank water before
flushing. Than about once or twice a week add a 1/4 cup of bleach to the tank.
Use to do this in my rentals

No, the toilet itself is not rusted; but the drain holes beneath the rim are
yielding rust particles from the tank (I suppose). What I would like to do is
to flush the rust out of the tank/rim assembly without taking the components
apart. I know there is an acid that can be used to clear out the rim drain
holes of the bowl itself, but can anybody advise me as to whether or not
applying this acid via the tank will damage the flush gasket?
