Try soaking it in water & gently rub with a wet rag.

What are your plans for them since the chrome is peeling?
Water and a rag won't work to remove what's left. Some of it adheres pretty well and won't come off without sanding or some type of acid bath.

My first thought was sand blast.

This would fall under the same category as removing the chrome off of a '91 grill though. At least I think it would. Maybe if walnut chips or something else fairly soft was used as the blast media.
how about bead blasting?to rough?
Probably not small enough to get in the tight spots but I don't know what size beads are available.
Try corn cob media. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
