Slave cylinder corrosion prevention
Slave cylinder corrosion prevention
(OP)
Is there something that I can coat the "back" area of clutch slave and brake cylinders with to reduce corrosion? It seems the boots do not keep out all moisture and condensation on vehicles that are use infrequently. Thanks for any help.

Brake fluid or brake assembly lube only.

One approach is to change fluids regularly.
Another is to use corrosion resistant components when repairs are carried out. One example is to line hydraulic cylinders with a stainless steel tube.

Interestitngly, most brake lubes list anti-rust additives and brake fluids list anti-corrosion additives.
