I'm referring to MB part 1152000058 -- picture is above in a previous post.
Yes, but it is a pricey tedious mess, generally takes 2-3 weeks soaking in various Lime/corrosion solvents + daily cleaning attempts with pipe cleaners, wire, etc.
The last one I salvaged cost $30.00 or more in solvents.

Cider vinegar
Lime-A-Way® Tile Cleaner
CLR Calcium Lime & Rust Remover
Urnex dezcal activated scale remover
ZEP PROFESSIONAL Calcium & Lime Remover
Mirachem 250 Rust & Scale Remover

NOTE:
If anyone finds a effective/cheap, easy way please let me know.
