a little help please?

heres the deal..

my rear passenger side caliper leaks brake fluid. i talked to the guy at Advance Auto Parts (a friend), and he said that if i rebuild the caliper, that i need a brake hone for the cylinder, or it'll leak. should i just get the $5 seal kit and call it a day, or is he right about it leaking.

none of the write-ups have anything to say about honing so im just asking. Thanks in advance.

i had the same problem when i first bought my car. I bought the rebuild kit and used 1000 grit sand paper to clean up the cylinder. hasn't leaked in 5 years.

eh i just went to napa and bought re man clalipers and turned in the old ones for the core charge. much easier.

did you use any special pattern when cleaning the cylinder with 1000 grit? im going to do this soon so i just want to be sure.

well the problem was that the piston was pushed out to far, and i just needed to push it back in. +1 for easy fix!
