Rusty brake shims

My brake shims are all rusted, what's the best way to clean them up?

Thnx in advance.

You sure they are rusted or is it not baked brake dust? I used a wired pad mated to a drill :wink:

Hiya Hrant,

I'm sure they're rust. Maybe I'll try your wire pad method.

Thnx.

You don't need them.

Honda put them in, so there's a reason for them.

They put them in so you can toss them the first time you replace your pads. :smile:
