Just get new cylinders. Try to get the ATE's. Thye have the proper
spring which pushes the end cups out against the shoes. This helps
prevents having to push the pedal twice to keep it high.

Subject: Rear brake slave cylinders - anything to watch

When I changed my rear brakes last fall I noticed that the rear right
slave
ws a little moist. The brakes are getting a little spongy so I'm going
to
flush and change. I want to fix the rear slaves. Should I get a kit and
hone and be done, or should I just buy new. I've rebuilt slave once
before
('63 Corvair - No Flames Please :) with good success. Who's been there
before?
