I have two brake calipers that I plan to rebuild. My biggest concern for them, of course, is rust.
How can I prevent the insides from rusting while they're in storage? I'm not sure that squirting them with WD40 or something will be good for the inner seals. Any thoughts how the pros do it? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
