So I just got my front and rear GT calipers for my conversion and I wanna clean the hell out of 'em.
Would you all recommend sand blasting them or going to town with a wire brush and brake cleaner? I realize that I'd have to get new seals if I blasted them, but with how nasty they look I'll be doing that anyway for peace-of-mind. I have easy access to a blaster at my work. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

If i had access to a media blaster (im going to assume your referring to a glove box and not a full booth) id use that. At home i clean most my parts up with a wire wheel....depending on what it is. Its quick and pretty much pain free.

It's so convenient - I blasted my bike frame in there before painting it. So I'll I'd really have to worry about is removing the bleed fittings, masking off threads and the pistons, correct (I'm replacing all seals and rings, regardless)? -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
