cleaning brake parts

Post by pig in shit »

hi,
just repairing the swivel hub etc on my cruiser and wondering what different ways you guys use to clean all the dirt and grit off calipers and discs. they are both covered in crap and would be good to get them nice and clean so i can dirty them again next time i go out wheeling :)

Plain water. It also dilutes and gets rid of spilt brake fluid.
Mud makes excellent toothpaste.
