Brake Piston clean up

[Wolfie]

as an aside to another conversation i am having.

who clean the brake pistons and then lubes them?

and

who just cleans them and leaves them dry?

 

[Rolfy Dave]

I have done mine in the past, and lubed them with ACF50.

Seems to keep them nice, clean & well protected @tu*

:yo: ACF50 on mine....

cold it not be that grease or ACF50 would actually have the dirt and dust stick to it and cause an issue? A dry piston would not suffer thus.

but would suffer a dry and stiff dust seal, where as lubing it keeps the seal moist and supple thus creating a better seal and cleaning the lot cleaner.
