Put together all the suggestions so far, in order, and you'll be doing ok.
Scrape off all large, loose chunks of rust.
Sand off remaining rust with sandpaper or use wire brush drill attachments.
Convert remaining tiny specks of rust back to more solid metal with rust converter or naval jelly. It will look black when "converted".
Get the POR 15 beginner kit and follow their instructions. It includes a phosphate solution which you brush on, then wash off. Then coat with at least 2 coats of POR15. (POR 15 is available in different colors too) Then topcoat with a good touchup paint.
Hope that helps.
