So what do you actually do in the way of cleaning them up? I don't want to strip the hydraulics out, and I'm reluctant to buy reconditioned calipers if I can restore normality without doing so, although that's the backup option. The reluctance to strip the hydraulic bits is nothing to do with mechanical competence, simply that only having the one car, and living in the sticks in Austria, means that we can't afford to be without the car when something goes wrong as it invariably will!
