back wheel bearings?

My tip would be to leave all the rubbers in place and also fit bolts into any threads, it's absolutely 100% rubber safe, but the stuff eats metal, a lot slower than rust, but still you don't want to be reducing the size of your pistons and opening the bores.

THanks, so drop the complete calipers in the stuff then?

Yes, then when they are about 90% done, strip them for the last 10%.

My tip is not to forget you have stuff sat dunked in the solution so it gets left there for a week... What sort of Muppet would do that, eh?

I've lost count of the number of little clips that no longer existed after I'd forgotten about them.

So just get 2 new bearings lads and put them in?
Just any motor factors have them

See what you can get mate. If you can get the old bearings out easy enough then just buy replacement bearings. If they won't come out with ease, I'd just slap on a complete pair of hubs.
