    Hi Ho Folks,

    Im sending my Master van to scrap and I took the brakes off it as they were only on the van for 6 months before the engine siezed. still pretty much brand new apart thread wise but the rust makes them look really bad as im trying to sell them on. Anyone any idea how to clean the rust of the discs and pads? They been sitting on van since July of last year and only taken off 2 weeks ago :eek:.

    A wire wheel on a drill for the discs, the pads should not be reused due to possible contamination.

    Works great with for the chain why shouldn't it work with the rotors?

    I would start with bottle of Coke first, does some amazing job with rusted nuts+bolts.
