Cleanup of original steering pieces

I want to reuse my original inner and outer tie rods as well as the original center link. How can I clean them up without "ruining" the ball joints? Any harm if the ball joint is submerged in Evaporust?

Why not just wire wheel them a paint them? They don’t need to to be perfect. After all, they are suspension parts.

Evaporust it great, but I wouldn’t use it in this instance.
