brake caliper fix
My calipers leak 
They are SS sleeved and the seals are good but inspection of the cylinder shows some dents that probably causes the leak. I think the dents seem a bit deep for a normal hone so Im inclined to overboring.
Question is, how much can I widen the caliper cylinder and the seals will still seal it?
Or is anything beyond honing just a matter of getting new calipers?
