To my 3rd floor walkup 1 bedroom apartment? I wonder if I could convince the
apartment complex it was "yard art"?
Actually went mortgage pre-approval shopping the other day so this probably
won't be a big problem for alot longer.

You don't do it with the rod connected, or at least not with it
near TDC or BDC.

If I recall my chemistry correctly, you want some liquid which is
acidic in nature a Ph of 7 or much less is better. This will dissolve
the metal/rust etc.. Hopefully, the rings causing the problem will
dissolve before the other metals ....
Cheap white vinegar, maybe drain o, lime, etc dissolves metals/rust.
Ask someone in a hardware store, they might know a better solution ....
It must sit for a couple of days for the chemical reaction to work, and
maybe you will have to repeat the process. Any oil is not acidic.
Air pressure sounds good also, keep in mind the high pressure cuz of
flying parts can injure/kill...
