Hi Guys,

I've managed to remover the pistons from some calipers I have but there is some corrosion and brake fluid residue outside of the piston in the piston bore area .

From experience what is the best way to clean them up?

I am thinking vapour blasting but wondered if there were any other "gentle" options?

Cheers

Andrew

"It’s reasonably obvious that if you are going to pump that piston up and down, you might as well get work out of it every time the piston comes down rather than every other time the piston comes down,"
