Run out of brake cleaner

[IMORTAL_Indian]

Thought of cleaning the front calipers when spinning the front wheel on the new 1jac. A little bit of binding going on.... cleaned 1 side ok and undone the second, however have run out of brake cleaner... is there something else I can use instead?

Halfrauds is closed !!

Cleaning the pistons?
Toothbrush and soapy water is fine...

Put something through the caliper to use to lever it back in. I use an electricians screwdriver (its wrapped in plastic)

I have had this imortal, open brake fluid reservoir to release pressure, push piston back in then bleed as required.

Sorted. Needed a splash of "man the **** up'. Having keyboard fingers does not help....
