What can i use to clean my front brake discs and pads with, without taking it apart because it drags pretty bad, and ive gotten all the trash out of their that i can with a really small screwdriver. But it still makes a scratching noise when it spins and it drags pretty bad. i poured water in the brake bads to try and wash some of the trash out but its not working :ermm:

brake parts cleaner maybe, if you dont have that then try some lectra clean or some contact cleanser (not the kind that you use with your eye). the best way to do it is to put it on a stand and spin it around while you spray the stuff in there. and if that doesnt get it out, dont be afraid to work on your bike, it is a very simple and easy job to take the brake pads off and put them back on.
