nah whip it ou and give it a good polish up, just dont grip it with pliers or the vice as it will gouge it.

how do i get the piston out after i have taken it all apart should i have done this before i took the fluid out.i also sprayed the whole caliper with brake cleaner and scrubbed with a toothbrush but the dirt did not shift is there anything else i can use apart from brake cleaner?
