Default Cleaning rubber off of calipers

Anyone know a trick to getting melted rubber off of the calipers? There is some serious amounts stuck on the backside.

Easy!

It's really bad. Was gonna take a chisel to it, but thought I'd post a thread first.

I like fire. And lacquer thinner. Try both at same time, I'm sure that'll take care of problem.

- For melted rubber caps on the bleeding nipples, the trick is your local Porsche Dealer or Brembo suppliers.

- For melted dust caps, the trick is your local Porsche Dealer or Brembo suppliers.

- For melted OPR (other's people rubber) cosmetically affecting the look of your Brembo caliper, use Windex, there you go.
