Hi all,

Apologies if this is a duplicate post, I could not find any direct posts on the subject, feel free to link any posts I might have missed.

Anyways, I am looking to clean my S1 irons for a rebuild, not the surface itself but more the edges to clear previous carbon build-up and leftover coolant seal debris.

I recently cleaned my rotors to almost brand new using a drill, PB blaster, and a nylon abrasive wheel, and have cleaned the exterior and most of the interior of my irons using the same process, but I am worried to get anywhere near the chrome of the irons even with a nylon wheel. I obviously do not want to leave any carbon build up especially where the coolant seals meet but don't want even a chance of damaging the surface.

Anyone have tips from when they rebuilt their 8? Or is the process I am already using totally fine.



The area circled in red is where I am speaking of, obviously I wouldn't only clean this spot all of the surface surrounding the chrome would be cleaned, it's just for reference.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

 

Just use an appropriately sized flat head, spray some carb cleaner, and have at it.

Don't overthink it. Just nice even pressure all the way around and as long as the carbon is scrubbed away, youll be set
