De-rusting calipers
Awhile ago I asked a question about rust and someone sent me this cool link about how to remove rust electro-chemically.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/456478/rust_removal_tip/ I'm wondering if application of this method is feasible on fully assembled brake calipers, or if it would compromise the seals. Thanks, Rex |

Don't do it on assembled calipers. You couldn't seal them well enough to prevent moisture from entering and I don't know what chemical changes the process would do to the brake fluid still in the calipers.
Rebuild kits are pretty inexpensive but then again, so are rebuilt (already purtyfied!) calipers. |

I ran across a kit recently for painting your brake calipers without taking them off the car. It includes some type of cleaner/prep stuff to get rid of old dirt and rust, I believe. If I can find it again, I'll post it here. I'll most likely try it if I succeed in buying a set of new wheels this weekend.

Here's the stuff I mentioned. It's supposed to get rid of the rust, too.

You'll get lots of practice on that new 280SL, Paul.
