I've done callipers (honda) by just dumping teh whole thing still assembled into my bath, letting the fluid do the work then dissassembing afterwards and cleaning etc.
No issues with the fluid getting inside the honda callipers at least.
Even cleans up rust that might be sticking to teh seals. I'd post pics I'd took previously the last time I did it but my storage got wiped out and I lost everything honda related last year..
FWIW, my passat front pistons are pitted to feck. Just bought new pistons and seals off ebay for 12quid a side so that's a this weekend job.
For teh sake of 4quid a side for seals, I'd be tempted to change them.
I also found the rear callipers are ally so forget that. Tho they also appear to have been eaten to death by road grime, brake dust etc.
