As DIY-er, I rebuilt few sets and did not need to hone it ever, but I was already scolded by Mr. @Tester on the similar “caliper rebuild” topic here: [Use silicone grease (Sil Glyde) to protect caliper boots and guide pin boots----a good idea?](https://community.cartalk.com/t/use-silicone-grease-sil-glyde-to-protect-caliper-boots-and-guide-pin-boots-a-good-idea/140403/7) Once, I encountered a caliper with a small rust spot, which I polished out with 2000 grit sandpaper, and I did not see any ill effects of that. On recycled parts, I would check if it is possible to push the piston in with pressure not exceeding “reasonable”, just to make sure it is not seized. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/brake-bleeders-keep-leaking/140797)._
