Ernest,
One of the common uses of this stuff is to etch aluminum.  So, it is
probably not a good idea to use it on the aluminum housings.  Mark S.

A little squirt of Ez-Off Oven cleaner contains lye and is much more convenient. BTW, works very well

on front, rear and intermediate housings to get off carbon and grease.

Use protective gloves and goggles

and rinse well after use and spray with your favorite rust
preventative.

 

You seem to be very careful to call out the steel housings.  I take it that it will eat the aluminum housings in short order?
