It’s been a while since we’ve used the enamel pot—let’s disassemble the caliper.
Apart from some rusty bolts, the condition wasn’t bad at all.
As expected from an anodized aluminum caliper—no corrosion whatsoever. There’s quite a difference in condition between raw and anodized.
With the steam cleaner, washing is quick and dirt comes off easily.
We’ll replace the piston with an aluminum one. Always inspect the seals.
The bolts get an MDN treatment—they look champagne gold and beautiful.
We apply rust preventative to the surface and we’re done.
It’s like it came back to life. The caliper bolts are OEM parts too.
The hose outlet won’t come out… We finally got it off, but the outlet will need to be replaced.
The color shows signs of deterioration.
Five minutes and it’s clean as a whistle.
Since the tank is old, we’ll go with H2. That’s where yesterday’s work ended.
