Notice: Refer to Filling the Master Cylinder Notice in Cautions and Notices.
Notice: Do not hone the master cylinder bore. When the brake master cylinder is overhauled, it is recommended that the cylinder body be replaced

diamond boring followed by ball or roller burnishing under heavy pressure. Honing will destroy this hard smooth surface and cause rapid wear of the
rubber cups.
