Most shop manuals will tell you how much. To check wear put in the small solid cup and then slide a guage up in beside it. In most cases it should not be over .005 and if it is definitely replace the wheel cylinder. If the cylinder "looks" bad try honing it anyway. I have cleaned up many bad looking ones and still not be over .003 which is plenty good. As someone did mention you can just about buy the complete cylinder for just a couple bucks more than a kit would cost. Now if everything is looking OK you may even be able to just buy the cups and be find IF you can still find only the cups, It would also depend on how old or how deteriated the other pieces are. In plain english it depends on good common judgement and how deep your pockets are but safety should be first. | | |
