Re: Rear brake pads
Brake cleaner is only for friction surfaces - use a bike cleaner, a toothbrush and hot water, rinse everything with clean water. Even some cream cleaner will be fine, in fact just about any non solvent cleaner will be fine - just rinse everything thoroughly. I wouldn't use Paraffin, it's not a harsh solvent, but all the same I'd keep it away from rubber parts.
Don't push the piston back without cleaning it first, I get work freeing stuck brakes caused by this exact reason.
