WD40, Red Diesel, coca cola, wire brush, G-clamp, the list goes on, may be easier to just buy 2 of a scrapper, then bleed brakes after fitting.....

lots of release oil and let them soak!

perfick opportunity to stick GTI vented discs and calipers if you ask me......

On a 1.3, producing a wopping 55bhp, easy now. 

 Cheers for the help guys

don't bother trying to de-seize them, they are your main braking calipers stop being a skin flint and buy new calipers, as you will end up killing yourself if they f**k up after you have de-siezed them. a few more quids investment on a car that only cost you a hundred bucks.

You could rebuild the old ones with new seal kits, as the set up is quite simple.
