Let’s perform maintenance on the caliper.
Brake caliper maintenance + aluminum piston request.
A hugely popular black and red 1100N.
Let’s scrub it thoroughly with hot water and soap. We’ll work efficiently using a large brush whenever possible.
It’s only natural that it’s this black—it’s almost shocking.
The condition is better than expected, and we’re grateful for that.
Since it’s an anodized caliper, we can’t detect any corrosion. The cylinder doesn’t show signs of wear either, which is reassuring.
We can tell from the traces on the removed parts how they’ve been moving.
The condition looks excellent overall, but we’ll discard everything.
We’ll use sharp tools and finish quickly. We won’t over-polish since excessive polishing can lead to wear and corrosion.
Air blowing alone isn’t enough, so let’s warm up the caliper body to make sure we drive off all the moisture.
We discovered we forgot to order parts, so we’re putting this on hold.
