Process for remanufacturing a master cylinder

A method of remanufacturing a brake master cylinder comprising the steps of disassembling a defective brake master cylinder having a housing bore and a lateral port extending through its wall, degreasing the empty brake master cylinder housing, blasting the housing bore of the disassembled cylinder with a solid abrasive to remove rust and corrosion therefrom, rust-proofing the empty cylinder housing, reaming said housing bore to a diameter slightly larger than the desired finished bore diameter of said cylinder making a corrosive resistant metal sleeve of proper length for insertion in said bore, grinding the exterior of the sleeve to a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the reamed housing bore, coating said bore and the exterior of said sleeve with adhesive, inserting said sleeve into said bore to a correct depth, removing excess adhesive near the mouth of the bore following said insertion, expanding the sleeve against the surface of the bore by roller burnishing the bore of the sleeve, drilling through the sleeve from the exterior of said housing to reopen said lateral port, and honing the interior of said sleeve to a smooth finish.
