Brembo question

[JKing]

The laquer on my brembo's is flaking so I'm wanting to refurb them by cleaning them up and giving them a fresh coat of laquer.
After reading a guide on Mitsubishi Lancer register (same callipers and a common problem apparently) I'm fairly confident I can do a good job.

One question though, can you remove the front part of the caliper (part with the brembo logo and the part I want to re-laquer) without totally removing the whole caliper and having to disconnect the brake hose??

If I have to disconnect the brake hose how do I stop fluid pissing everywhere as I don't want to have to bleed them again as they've just been done.

thanks

It's not too bad leaving them on the car, I had a small area on one caliper,

Jacked up car
Remove Wheel
Clean off brake dust (Jetwash)
Dry the area
Get rid of all the flakes of old lacquer
Protect/Mask the disc and surrounding aread
Spray new lacquer on the area that had flaked (leave for an hour and apply a second coat)

You couldn't tell where I had sprayed and where I hadn't

May be worth a go

thanx matey, was gonna do them in situ but I'll probably be fitting new discs and pads at the same time so would ideally like to have done them off the car.

What laquer did you use?? I've seen the spray laquer in halfords but wasn't sure if it was high temp enough.

i refurbed mine and got some stickers of ebay. Really happy with result and had no problems with them peeling due to heat either.
