Rubber Glove Tip

[Hamish]

Good tip if you are working on brake calipers on the bench.

The brake line bolt has a hole in, so is no good for keeping dirt out, or any residual fluid leaking out. Cut the fingers of a rubber/garage glove, put some kitchen role in the finger and screw in the hole.





It can stay in there the whole time, even during painting. It will stay there until fitted back to car


Very useful and saves your fresh paint from coming off at the back :)

I used some of those spongy ear plug things and did the same. You can roll them to shrink it then it expands once in the hole. We have boxes of them at work.
What paint did you use on your calipers?
