Hi Rich
you can get your calipers blasted , sandblasting is just a saying though , we use alluminium oxide in our blaster to get at the rust , you cannot use sand.
You want to strip the calipers to nothing , and blast inside the bores , as its the top part of the bores that rust and cause the pistons to stick , along with the pistons themselves rusting.
We have seal kits and stainless steel pistons in stock if you are looking for any parts
Cheers Ian
