Cleaning a clutch

Post by Spreeboy7118 »

Is there anything to use to clean a clutch? I know that pads are sensitive to grease and such. Would brake cleaner work?

Greetings:

SpreeBoy is fastidious. Brake (but NOT carb cleaner) is designed to leave no residue and should work to clean the pads and drum of the offending dust. Now I have to resume dental-flossing my tire treads...

I just like to keep things all good. I figured since I had it apart I might as well clean it. :smile:
