Key Features

• Flexible Honing Technology: The proprietary Flex-Hone design features abrasive globules mounted on flexible nylon filaments, ensuring a self-centering and self-aligning action within the bore. This provides uniform pressure for consistent results in brake cylinder honing.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Equipped with durable 120SC silicon carbide abrasive, this cylinder honing tool is highly effective for deglazing and surface conditioning of various metal types found in brake systems.
• Plateau Finishing: Creates an ideal plateau finish with a cross-hatch pattern, which is essential for optimal lubricant retention and proper seating of piston seals in brake cylinders.
• Precise Sizing: Engineered specifically for 14mm (.552 inch) diameter bores, offering a precise fit for relevant brake master cylinder and wheel cylinder applications.

Applications

• Restoring and finishing brake master cylinders.
• Honing and deglazing wheel cylinders.
• Preparing internal surfaces for new seals during automotive brake system overhauls.
• Improving the internal surface finish of small hydraulic cylinders with a 14mm bore.
• Automotive brake component surface finishing for professional repairs.

Benefits

• Enhanced Seal Performance: The unique plateau finish generated by this brake cylinder hone promotes superior seating and sealing of piston cups, significantly reducing fluid bypass and potential leaks in brake systems.
• Extended Component Lifespan: By creating an optimal wear surface, this cylinder honing tool reduces friction and wear on seals and cylinder walls, contributing to longer service life for brake components.
• Improved Braking Reliability: Achieve consistent hydraulic pressure and reliable braking performance through precisely conditioned cylinder bores, critical for vehicle safety.
• Effective Glaze and Corrosion Removal: Effortlessly removes glazed surfaces, light rust, and minor corrosion from cylinder walls, revitalizing their hydraulic efficiency and responsiveness.
• User-Friendly Operation: The flexible construction adapts to minor bore variations, making the brake cylinder honing process straightforward and effective for both professional technicians and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
