Best Way To Clean A Disc Brake

Noo, not for trials. You lost all bite bu using that.

I stick my pads and disc in boiling water to try and get out the oil and then stick my pads in a hot oven for 10mins to brund off residual oil. Seems to do something... Does need bedding in again afterwards though.

That's what I usually do!

Yo to stop da breeks sqeeking put WD40 on dem...

Bake the pads to try get some of the oil out of them and you can use acetone (SP?) e.g. nail varnish remover on the rotor.

The pads will never be the same and I would just replace them but the rotor should be okay.

Are your pads contaminated with brake fluid, if so bin them!

I always clean my rotor's with cellulose thinners as the residue evaporates

leaving a shiny new finish! Clean with kitchen towel.

if the pads are just dirty sand them on a flat stone surface doing circular motion (Y)

works every time for me! Sam.

So has the fluid gone right through the pads ?

Thanks
