I drove a loop around the base of Broken Top with my wife yesterday. Popped in to the forest service road 4601 at the base of Tumalo Falls then to 370 and came out at Todd Lake. At about mile 10 Scout started idling like garbage. Stopped to...

Your garage is the stuff of fantasy.

I did a rough clean with brake cleaner and a brush then soaked the calipers and rusted hardware in Evaporust. It does the best at dissolving the rust. I followed up with a little scotchbrite inside the cylinders to clean up any remaining rough spots.

We always need more Land Cruiser models! And yes…

What did you use to clean the calipers before painting? Just brake cleaner, or did you acid dip them or do anything to remove the rust?

Now that the fuel system and coolant hoses are done, I am working on the front brakes. I went all Toyota oem parts from the local dealer. New rotors, caliper rebuild kit, and pads. Calipers were leaking and seized.
