Fig 14 Honing Piston Bore
Clean all parts using alcohol or a suitable solvent and blow dry, using compressed air. Blow out all drilled passages and bores.
NOTE: Whenever a caliper has been disassembled, a new boot and seal must be installed at reassembly.
Inspect the piston bore for scoring or pitting.
-
Install a new piston if it is pitted, scored or the plating is severely worn.
-
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, or equivalent, providing the diameter of the bore is not
increased more than 0.002 inch (0.050mm).
-
If the bore does not clean up within this specification, a new caliper housing should be installed.
NOTE: Black stains on the piston are caused by the piston seal and will do no harm.
When using Hone C-4095 or equivalent, coat the stones and bore with brake fluid.
After honing the bore, carefully clean the seal and boot grooves with stiff non-metallic rotary brush.
CAUTION: Use extreme care in cleaning the caliper after honing.
Remove all dirt and grit by flushing the caliper with brake fluid; wipe dry with a clean, lintless cloth and then clean a second time in the same
manner or until clean cloth shows no signs of discoloration.
