6. Using a soft tool such as a plastic trim stick, work the piston seal out of its groove in caliper piston bore. Discard the old seal.
7. Clean the piston bore and drilled passage ways using alcohol or a suitable solvent. Wipe it dry using only a lint-free cloth.
Honing Brake Caliper Piston Bore
8. Inspect the piston bore for scoring or pitting. Bores that show light scratches or corrosion can usually be cleared of the light scratches or corrosion
using crocus cloth. Bores that have deep scratches or scoring should be honed. Use Caliper Hone, Special Tool C-4095 or equivalent, to hone the
bore. Do not over-hone the bore. Don not increase the diameter of the bore 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.
NOTE: During the honing procedure, coat the stones and bore with brake fluid. After honing the bore, carefully clean the seal and boot grooves
with a stiff non-metallic rotary brush. Use extreme care in cleaning the caliper after honing. Remove all dirt and grit by flushing the caliper bore
with fresh clean brake fluid; wipe it dry with a clean, lint free cloth and then clean it a second time.
9. Inspect the caliper piston for pitting, scratches, or any physical damage. Replace the piston if there is evidence of scratches, pitting or physical
damage.
