Hi Everyone,
What's the best way to clean suspension parts that was in a fire but looks like just surface crisping. Also has anyone ever rebuilt brake calipers and what's required. The Calipers are charred. I will definitely have to take them apart and clean the charred parts then replace all the rubber seals, ect.
Any advise is greatly appreciated
Thanks
CCIE

sand blasting might work.

CCIE: Since you didn't say what make of caliper you have or type (one piston, 2 piston, 4,6 etc) I'll give you a general Utube video of a 4 piston caliper overhaul. He misnames some parts but generally he gives good advice on disassembly and cleaning. Media blast or wire brush to your choice. Dirt around a rebuild is the killer. In the video, he doesn't split the halves to replace the brake fluid passage "O" rings which are a must in your case. Latex or latex free gloves are good. If bores or pistons are pitted, go with new or rebuilt caliper. Option to paint: RED of course ;-) Jim
