Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone - 20mm x 8 In - 180 Grit - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC20MM Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is a professional-grade honing tool engineered for precision surface finishing in automotive and industrial brake cylinders. Featuring a resilient, flexible design and a 180-grit abrasive, this tool effectively removes glaze, cleans cylinder walls, and prepares surfaces for optimal piston seal and brake system performance. Its unique self-centering and self-aligning capabilities ensure consistent results for technicians.

Key Features

• Flexible Design: Conforms accurately to the cylinder bore for consistent, uniform honing.
• Soft Cutting Action: Effectively removes imperfections without altering the cylinder's critical dimensions.
• Independent Suspension: Abrasive globules are independently suspended, allowing the tool to be self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear.
• Optimal Grit for Finishing: 180-grit abrasive is ideal for achieving a cross-hatch pattern crucial for oil retention and ring sealing.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of professional shop environments, ensuring a long service life.

Applications

The BC20MM Flex-Hone is specifically designed for brake cylinders with a 20mm bore diameter and an 8-inch length. It is widely used by automotive technicians and mechanics for:

• Deglazing and cleaning brake cylinder bores during rebuilds.
• Restoring the original surface finish to promote proper piston cup sealing.
• Removing minor corrosion or irregularities to prevent premature wear and fluid leaks.
• Preparing brake cylinders for new piston and seal installations.
