I've bought a used front brake calliper for my DRZ (don't ask why please!) but it is as dirty as a dirty thing although the bores look fine. I have new pistons and seals to fit. How to clean it? I thought to use industrial detergent and a toothbrush, then rinse with water, then cook gently in the oven to remove all traces of water. The old seals will be removed first.

Thanks for that Dappers. I've got the auto adjuster fitted but it is still noisy.

Noisy click or noisy rattle? I had Manuel on mine when I got it. Started noisy clicking, so I tweaked yesterday and all good again. Its Justin, stop as soon as click does. If its a rattle radder than click its summat else.
