I have no problem buying rebuilds if that is the last resort but these things are very, very easy in theory. With five daily drivers, I wouldn't mind rebuilding them as it looks easier than most DIY jobs. The one piston popped out and the seals are so easy to replace. I took the rust off the opening of the one cavity and the piston slides in so nice now.

Thanks

Don
