Clean brake caliper slide pins and channels with the Indigo™ 22574 stainless steel precision pick. Remove corrosion and debris that causes sticking calipers and uneven brake pad wear.

Sticking brake calipers cause uneven pad wear, reduced braking performance, and potential safety issues. Corrosion and debris in caliper slide pin bores and piston channels prevent free movement, but these areas are difficult to clean with conventional tools. The Indigo™ 22574 precision pick provides automotive technicians with effective caliper maintenance capability, the straight pointed tip removes corrosion from slide pin bores and breaks up debris in piston seal grooves, while the right-angle tip accesses channels and recesses in the caliper body. This preventive maintenance extends caliper life, improves brake performance, and prevents comebacks from premature pad wear. The stainless steel construction resists brake fluid and cleaning solvents without corroding.

Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.

How to Use

With the caliper removed from the vehicle, disassemble slide pins and remove brake pads. Clean external surfaces with brake cleaner. Use the straight tip to carefully scrape corrosion from slide pin bores, working along the bore length rather than across it. Use the right-angle tip to clean channels in the caliper body and around piston seal grooves. Be extremely careful around seal grooves, damage here causes brake fluid leaks. Remove all loosened debris before applying new lubricant. Inspect bores and pistons for excessive corrosion or pitting that indicates replacement is needed. Clean thoroughly, lubricate with proper brake grease, and reassemble carefully.

Need an ultrafine tool to clear clogged nozzles or microfilters? Insect pins may be a practical alternative. Our unique 100 pin sampler package has 10 pins in 10 thicknesses, all made with grade 316 stainless steel.
