1-5/8" (41MM) Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone Grit - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC15812 1-5/8" (41MM) Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is a specialized abrasive tool engineered for professional automotive and industrial hydraulic system maintenance. This honing tool effectively deglazes and resurfaces brake cylinder walls, ensuring an optimal surface finish for new piston seals and contributing to reliable brake system rebuilds. Its design focuses on delivering a consistent bore finish crucial for both performance and extended component life.

Key Features

• Controlled Plateau Finish: Creates a refined, oil-retaining plateau finish on cylinder walls, which is essential for proper seal lubrication and significantly extends the operational life of brake seals.
• Self-Centering and Self-Aligning: The flexible design of the tool ensures uniform honing pressure throughout the cylinder bore, adapting to minor imperfections and delivering consistent results without elaborate setup.
• Durable Abrasive Construction: Manufactured with professional-grade materials and abrasive grit, this Flex-Hone offers efficient material removal and robust tool longevity, even under demanding use.
• Optimal Cross-Hatch Pattern: Develops a precise and consistent cross-hatch pattern on the cylinder wall, which is critical for proper seal seating and effective lubrication.
• Effective Glaze and Carbon Removal: Efficiently deglazes cylinder walls, removing embedded carbon and microscopic torn or folded material without compromising the cylinder's integrity.

Applications

This dedicated honing tool is ideal for rebuilding and servicing hydraulic brake cylinders across a wide range of automotive and industrial vehicles. It is indispensable for proper cylinder resurfacing during brake system overhauls, ensuring the removal of glaze and minor imperfections that can compromise seal performance. Professional technicians commonly utilize the BC15812 for preparing master cylinders, wheel cylinders, and other critical hydraulic bores to accept new seals, thereby enhancing the efficiency and reliability of braking components.
