Remove Silicone From Brake Parts, Etc
I'm rebuilding front calipers that were filled with DOT 5 brake fluid.
What is your recommendation for a solvent to clean these parts.
Thank you.

Silicone Cleaner
Effectively emulsifies silicone oils, greases and uncured silicone elastomers
Effective degreaser in a wide range of manufacturing or processing applications
Complies with EU detergent regulation on biodegradability of surfactants
Think it only comes in large amounts (1000 ML drum) or a small sample.
Better off with the below:
