    simple brake question

    i bought some mini calipers for my glh from the jy and wanted to know if i should hone the caliper cylinders (i know not to touch the mc).

    on another note, should i rebuild the mc? the fluid looked nasty, but i'm low on funds, and i still need to buy pads.

    No need to hone the caliper bores, the caliper piston rides on the rubber seal.

    As for the M/C, I honestly wouldn't touch it, just buy a new one, there so cheap these days. Is your life worth $60?
