just use hammerite, its cheap & also pretty thick consistency, plus its rust protector


could you not undo the nuts? get a bigger bar & socket

if the nuts are off and its rusted to the bolt face then just get the wheel a good boot

I was just going to do this today, but i cud'nt get my fecking wheel off !!'@:#:mad:

Dunno y, Iv had them off b4, but the vaux garage were the last to put them on I they r really tight!

Ne ideas?

also any particular brand of paint to look for and the spray paint better or the brush on ones?

You are bound to have rust on the caliper. Brake cleaner might break down any oil/dust but wont take away the rust, a wire brush attachment ina drill is the quickest way.

brake cleaner spray works? better than wire brush?

just buy a wire brush & some hammerite

give the caliper a good brush then wipe of the excess dirt/dust

then paint it with hammerite, takes about an hour to dry, give it a couple of coats, should be done in an afternoon

How hard is it and does it take long to dry?

Overall how long would it take to do 4 brake calipers?
