funkymofo 0 Posted February 1, 2007 I recieved some 307 hdi calipers through the post yesterday but they are really quite dirty, alot of the "dirt" seems to be fairly loose and will come off when you run your finger over it. Is there anything I could soak them in to clean them up, or will this potentially damage them? Obviously I will remove the pads first Or should I just use elbow grease and a toothbrush with turps or similar? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elbow grease and brake cleaner is best, although I soak mine in some of the bilt hamber stuff - I strip 'em fully first though.

WildCards 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Get a dremmel tool to take the elbow grease out of the equation. I bought a cheap imition one from Aldi (of all places!) for nasty dirty jobs like this and it works a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edd-XS 0 Posted February 1, 2007 I always find them easier when on the car... that way u can clean all the 'visible' dirt, an cos you cant see the non visible stuff, you can just pretend its not there! Edd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
