You

have to mix the acetone like mad with the ATF but what is good is that the acetone is so thin it gets right into the tiny little places where there is space to do some good.
I am now wondering what it would be like to mix acetone, diesel and ATF and see how that works!

Jeez, I’d suggest more of the same with extra lashings of heat.

If they are all mixed today then.. the wheel housing has left the chat

Diesel and whatever ATF i have left... will give it a soak.. anyone know the going price on these housing parts? also are they threaded for the calipers or do they just slot through into and then wind on into the caliper (asking for a friend, my Milwaukee drill and new drill bits). I've got new calipers to go in.

The caliper bolts screw into the caliper the mounting bracket is just a hole so if you do go about drilling all you will need is a caliper worst case, although you should be able to salvage the calliper.

Yeah so with the waisted part can anyone remember taking calipers off recently if they are threaded? or just straight through into the caliper?.. i do have new bolts and new calipers but not really up for testing it when they're thread locked...

Dont buy commercial acetone buy the synthetic dilutant which is acetone no need to mix as it does it on its own and looks like raspberry juice when you add the two together...
