\nLet’s perform maintenance on the caliper.<\/p>\n

Brake caliper maintenance + aluminum piston request. <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6718\"<\/a>
\nA hugely popular black and red 1100N.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6722\"<\/a>
\nLet’s scrub it thoroughly with hot water and soap. We’ll work efficiently using a large brush whenever possible.<\/p>\n

\"DSC05881\"<\/a>
\nIt’s only natural that it’s this black\u2014it’s almost shocking.<\/p>\n

\"DSC05883\"<\/a>
\nThe condition is better than expected, and we’re grateful for that.<\/p>\n

\"DSC05887\"<\/a>
\nSince it’s an anodized caliper, we can’t detect any corrosion. The cylinder doesn’t show signs of wear either, which is reassuring.<\/p>\n

\"DSC05889\"<\/a>
\nWe can tell from the traces on the removed parts how they’ve been moving.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6730\"<\/a>
\nThe condition looks excellent overall, but we’ll discard everything.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6733\"<\/a>
\nWe’ll use sharp tools and finish quickly. We won’t over-polish since excessive polishing can lead to wear and corrosion.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6737\"<\/a>
\nAir blowing alone isn’t enough, so let’s warm up the caliper body to make sure we drive off all the moisture.<\/p>\n

We discovered we forgot to order parts, so we’re putting this on hold.<\/p>\n
