Brake Jet cleaner (need help)

[niteblade]

anyone use aerosol brake jet cleaners to clean their disc brakes before?

 

do the wheels need to be removed? or can just spray onto the brakes?

 

the instructions are in japanese so i'm abit unsure of how to use it

not quite sure what aerosol you are refering to. But discs are easily cleaned with soap and water.

Do you mean something to clean the caliper internals? If yes, then you can just remove the caliper itself. Should be easier than removing the whole wheel.

Its like a aerosol jet spray with pretty strong chemicals. I'm just afraid whether it will eat at the paint of my rims. anybody used one before?

Be careful what you spray onto your brakes. If the spray contains strong chemicals, you really do not want to spray onto your brake calipers, in case the chemicals react negatively with the brake seals.

 

To be completely safe, remove the wheel and brake disc, and spray only onto the disc.
