Petroleum products are non-polar products, and hence dissolve other non-polar products.
Asphalt erodes because of leaking gasoline or oils, for example. Same logic.

Hey thanks for the helpful information. I think this bushing could be what’s causing the “brake drag” I’m experiencing on my BRZ. How exactly do you remove the rubber piece? Is it wedged in the caliper bracket?

@CEW Undo the caliper bolt, spin the caliper out of the way, and pull the caliper pin out. The sleeve will come out with it

Ok thanks! Pins were covered in grease so I didn’t realize it was on the pin itself.
