Cleaning, Inspecting & Honing Caliper
Honing Brake Caliper Piston Bore
Inspect the piston bore for scoring or pitting
-
Bores that show light scratches or corrosion, can usually be cleared with crocus cloth.
-
Bores that have deep scratches or scoring should be honed, using Tool C-4095, providing the diameter of the bore is not increased more than
0.0254 mm (0.001 inch).
-
If the bore does not clean up within this specification, a new caliper housing should be installed. Install a new piston if the old one is pitted or
scored.
When using a hone:
Coat the stones and bore with brake fluid. After honing the bore, carefully clean the seal and boot grooves with a stiff nonmetallic rotary brush.
