Clean everything with lacquer thinner, it leaves no residue. Flush your system with new brake fluid. If your going to resleeve your cylinders do them in Brass, stainless is to hard for the aluminum cylinders on your coupe and will crack them. You can also go another route. If you go to a brake repair shop not Midas you can use regular cups to replace the seals on your pistons. Then place a spring between the cups to hold them against the pistons that you modified. The way to modify your existing pistons is to just cut them flat. File them smooth and put them back into your resleeved (Brass) cylinders. One problem with the seal type brake cylinder piston seal use on the Honda 600 is that not only does the cylinder corrode but the sealing surface on the piston also corrodes. This is why some Honda 600 owners still have problems even after they have spent the time to resleeve their wheel cylinders only to find them still leaking.

Stepping on the brake caused the piston to pop out through the shredded boot, and stay out. Working the handbrake cable behind the wheel eased the piston back in place. A half a can of brake cleaner later, the built up goo was removed from the pads, drum and everywhere else.

If I reassemble now will I continue to have the sticking problem? Other than cleaning up I didn't actually fix anything. I could attempt to create a boot by wrapping a sheet of rubber and wire-tieing the ends in the proper spots - temporary at best. If I do that should I add a bit of oil or grease inside the "boot" first?
