(2) Remove    rubber    boots    (2    and    9)    and connecting links (1 and 10) from cylinder ends. cups (4 and 71, and spring (5) from cylinder body (6). Low pressure air at fluid inlet can also be used to remove internal parts. (4) Remove bleeder (11). 1.  Connecting link 8.  Piston 2.  Boot 9.  Boot 3.  Piston 10.  Connecting link 4.  Piston cup 11.  Bleeder 5.  Spring 12.  Screw 6.  Cylinder body 13.  Lock washer 7.  Piston cup Figure 6-1.  Brake wheel cylinder, exploded view. d. Cleaning and Inspection. (1) Clean  all  parts  thoroughly  and  keep  them clean until unit is ready for assembly.  Use lint free cloth for cleaning. Caution:    Wash   parts   thoroughly   in denatured    alcohol    or    clean    brake fluid.    Never  use  gasoline,  kerosene, paint   thinner   or   other   mineral   base solvents  as  they  will  damage  rubber components. (2) Thoroughly    inspect    all    parts    for    wear, corrosion or other conditions which might impair cylinder action. Caution:    Do  not  use  emery  cloth  or sandpaper. (3) Inspect   cylinder   bore.      Deep   blemishes require boring to resurface the cylinder wall.  Do not bore beyond  manufacturer’s  specifications.    Pressure  marks may be polished out with crocus cloth. (4) If  it  is  necessary  to  resurface  the  cylinder wall, use the following procedure: (a) Coat    walls    of    cylinder    bore    with hydraulic brake fluid. (b) Secure   cylinder   body   in   a   bench vise. (c) Using    honing    equipment,    remove material from cylinder bore in single passes. (d) After each pass is completed, remove   hone   and   inspect   for   scratches   and   pitting. Remove   only   enough   material   to   recondition   cylinder bore.  Do not hone cylinder oversize. Note.  If the cylinder has been honed oversize  or  greater  than  1.507  of  an inch, it must be replaced. 6-2
