Master Cylinder: Notes

NOTE: Do not hone the master cylinder bore. When the brake master cylinder is overhauled, it is recommended that the cylinder body be replaced rather than cleaned up by honing the bore. The master cylinder has a hard, highly polished bearingized surface, which is produced by 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.
