    electrolysis brake caliper

    Just a quick question, I've taken the HP2's off to refurbish, can I use electrolysis to get rid of the rust? Never used electrolysis before, so don't on what it can be used and what not

    Thanks

    Yep, keep some brake line connected to the caliper so you can submerge without water getting it.

    I used water and baking soda.

      Awesome, you just saved me hours of scrubbing Is there anything that should be removed before? And for how long should I leave it in there for?

      Thanks

        I left it in overnight. Just quickly wire brush off the loose stuff. and clean one point where you can clamp the negative wire .

          Brilliant thanks. I assume I can chuck brake discs in as well?
