Awsome. You should do this about every 6 months. Or whenever you rototate your tires. You will be amazed how much dust is in there every time you take the drum off.

LOL this is why all auto shops are required to have a osha approved brake cleaner system. Which is a big drum that wheels under the brakes and a long brush that has a solvent that comes out of it. So you can gently brush away the dust without it going all over the place like into your lungs.
