Rusty Bolts

Had a couple of rusty brake mounting bolts. Got the same treatement as the caliper part... drill with wire brush.


Just beginning on the first bolt.



Part way through the first.



Part way through and you can see the difference between the two.

Rusteeze

Needed to clean up part of a mechanical disc brake. Specifically the wheel side of the caliper where the threaded plate is.

Cordless drill with wire wheel.


You can see the rust from use. This will eventually sieze up and become unusable. Especially since it moves rarely compared to the non wheel side of the caliper.



And the result of a few minutes work can bee seen here.
