GQ Brake Pistons

[Silver]

the rubber bits are disposable once damaged in any fashion.
cleaning product will stuff em completely forget it.
taking chances with your or others lives for way less than $100 dollars !!!.
don't do it bud.
Happy motoring, not condolences.

The only rubber bits that I cleaned with kero were the slider boots. I would have bought replacements had they been available at the time.

The calipers were fine -no need to do anything with the pistons, so the 'Q got new rotors and pads, and nice slippery slide bolts again.

This was all back in Jan 2011 when I did the front swivel hubs - and that is when I glued the splits. They are still fine, and I check them when under the 'Q.

I am reasonably comfortable taking this approach with the slider boots, Robo. If the slider boots split again they'll let moisture and crud into the slider bolts, which I will pick up while under there for some other reason. As you know they won't cause a major leak of fluid for example.
