To be honest this is the first attempt at cleaning them, but there was no
damage done to the seals that I could see. I have to change a Pin on the
left side Caliper (Front) as its seized tight.. So will look at greasing up
the back of the pads then ๐ Thanks for your comment ๐
Brake cleaner is overkill and many formulations don’t play nice with brake
caliper piston seals or paint they get on. Hot soapy water is both
effective and relatively benign by comparison. No reason to not use it.
Hi, Can’t say I’ve ever had a problem with them, the rear brake is very
responsive, as is the front, although I do need to change my pads. I guess
it can depend on what type of pads are used.
Cheers for the upload, never actually seen anyone bother to clean the
actual brake pad itself lol, always a good idea to grease the back of the
pad up to stop brake squeel. Have you never had any damage to your piston
seals as ive heard its a good idea to lube up the pistons with red rubber
grease or even just coat them in brake fluid before pushing them back in,
not a good idea to go in dry unless your into that kinda thing ๐
Tooth brush ok, but make it easier get a can of brake cleaner! Also if your
going for brake pads EBC sintered work a treat and if you want better
breaking after that change your brake lines to braided

you can come and do mine now lol

few months ๐
