    Cleaning Caliper and MC

    Hi
    I'm currently rebuilding the front caliper and the MC.
    the caliper piston was seized and I used compressed air to free it, this is how the cylinder looks after some cleaning.



    Is it still usable? how can i clean all that oxidation spots and rust - i read that these grooves need to be spotless.

    Same questions for the MC



    Thanks
    Eran

    BTW: What type and size of snap ring pliers do i need for the MC? can seem to take it out

    I used a hemostat for removing the master cylinder snap ring. You can get them on Ebay for less than 5 dollars shipped.

    Follow this thread for cleaning



    and Marvel Mystery Oil works wonders on aluminum oxidation, that white gunk
