    The face is easy but it's taken me 5 hours to do one piston. The underside is worse than a public BBQ. Degreaser and a toothbrush is a joke. A wire wheel attachment on a die grinder has met with moderate success but i'm still not happy. Just curious as to whether it's prohibitively expensive to get them cleaned.
