Cleaning up brake calipers
Need some info on how to properly clean up some used front brake calipers that i got. Like do i need to look out for anything in general? i plan on rebuilding them with the rebuild kit so can i just spray the hell out of them with brake cleaner and scrub them down? i plan on painting or polishing them.

Check to see if the bleeders are rusted or not, don't want that crud working it's way to your abs block. Careful with the products you clean/lube with. The rubber for brake systems will swell up with oil based products.

I plan on buying the rebuild kits for them but was just wondering if i can just blast everything with brakeclean and sand it down a bit. like can i get the piston wet with the brakeclean?
