cleaning crusty brake fluid
What is the best way to clean crusted on brake fluid from the grooves that hold the piston seals. Im afraid i'll mar up the grooves if I use a small screwdriver. Is there a better way?

Try a shop rag with fresh fluid.

I used the same brass brush Winner shows, works great to get into seal crevices etc.

^^^^ try to get the brass ones as there are a lot on ebay/amazon that look brass but are only plated steel which i think is too harsh .
