Well, I'm working on cleaning up the calipers, but still have a few questions.

1) I've used Brakleen to clean the outside and the bores.  The two halves
are still together.  Have I ruined the inner seals by using Brakleen??  How
will I know if the seals are now bad, look for leaks??

2) How "clean" should the bores be and how do I clean up minor surface
imperfections??  Is there a sure-fire way to clean up the seal ridges??
It's pretty tough to get into the seal rings without splitting the calipers.

That's this weekend project - I'm hoping I can get this thing back on the
road after next weekend for our tour.  

Anyone in the Phila area looking for a good drive and tour on the 17th??
Let me know!

Thanks,
Jason.
