Default Re: Wheel Cylinder issues

I have fixed many of my wc by washing them in the kitchen sink with hot water and dish washer soap. Most of the time the rubber is re usable. Hot soapy water dissolves old brake fluid crud and leaves everything clean. A quick trip to the oven dries out the pores of the cast. use a knife to then scrape out any rings that are left in the cyl. The old practice was to hone cylinders when they were torn down and I believe it did more damage than good. Of course make sure the wife is not around.............
