Depending on the size of the part, I may use electrolysis to loosen the rust.

It's fairly easy to make your own "rust bucket" like the one shown in that link. I use my battery charger for the power source.
Google electrolysis rust removal for more info.

I am looking at how to save a marine steering wheel. It is a late 40's boat and am reviving this thread to see what others think about using this process on a cracked steering wheel. I have restored a Banjo steering wheel in the past however I am looking at restoring this steering wheel for an antique (late 40's) wooden boat. Construction is basically the same as our truck wheels, a carbon steel skeleton with the plastic molded to the skeleton. It is cracked quite a bit with the "exploding rust" doing the cracking. To deal with the rust in the cracks I was considering putting the wheel in a container like a plastic garbage can lid. The idea is to draw the iron oxide out of the cracks. I will need to keep a close eye on compatibility with the plastic since I do not want to soften or harm it. What do you guys think?
