Isabel's West Coast Sister by relentless

Yesterday I removed the passenger's side rear tire to look at things behind it. Here is what it looked like:



It took a BIG breaker bar to bust loose the two bolts holding the caliper on. 



I removed the rusty brake disc, and was ready to try this Eastwood Fast Etch rust remover, which they show on the container how it performs on rusty discs.



I admit, I had my doubts as to how effective the Fast Etch would be. I have spent plenty of time with other rust removers, wire brushes on drills etc. I poured the Fast Etch into a clean oil drain container and dropped the disc in about a 1/2" deep.



After five minutes I began to see a lot of the rust coming off.



I'm not sure how long this was, maybe 30 minutes or so.



After no longer than 45 minutes, and only using a soft bristle brush, this is the result. Amazing!



The other side that was down, had all the rust removed except where it was against the plastic drain pan.



The final result with a little more time spent with only a brush. Man, this stuff really works!!



In conclusion, I wish I had tried Fast Etch before!
