Video Transcript

"Next we're going to deal with cleaning off your work that you have just done. You want to look it over, make sure you have everything in place, maybe recheck your bolts that you put into the assembly to make sure they are tight. This is pretty dirty work so after you're finished you look that over. You want to take a chemical, maybe like brake-clean, and spray it over the surface. Make sure you get everything cleaned off. Just simply go over it, clean it off, let it dry off before you try and drive. Some of these chemicals are flammable so you want to make sure that you get all of the residue off before you do go driving to test drive to make sure that your break job did actually go through well. Then you want to maybe use a brush and clean off any debris that you may have around your work area. That should be about it. Then there are some lubricants that you can use, once I stated before about the slides and caliper to make sure all of that moves correctly. So there you have it. Cleaning this makes for a happy work environment."
