Default Re: Cleaning all around the rear wheel / swingarm / rear brake caliper

Dependin on how long it's sat for I would be tempted to strip and grease the caliper properly. Just shoving the pistons back with brute force and ignorance will shaft the seals incredibly quickly. A healthy piston will move back with thumb pressure, even from my knackered thumb lol
