If the part is anoed then there is a few ways you can strip it, The best way I have found is dollar store oven cleaner. spray the part let it sit for no more than 15 min and scrub the hell out of the part with fine steel wool and then rinse the part and repeat until the part is a dull raw color similar to this.

for example pipe cleaner works as well.

everything that includs sodium hydroxide (NaOH) works...

You really shouldn't let oven cleaner get onto the bearing seats. It works by eating away the aluminium so you will be fucking up the bearing seat tolerances very quick. Decorative anodising (like hubs use) should buff off pretty fast with a polishing wheel and you are not going to fuck the bearing seats.

greasing the bearing seats helps ;-)

Edit: works with aluminium only

donīt know how it is at you in the us, but in germany you can only buy strippers that you probably might be drink as a private person.
if you want to have a good and aggressive stripper that also strips original paint you have to go to a painter among your acquaintances that sells it to you illegal...
