Final Approach
They have roughly 1700 hours on them. They didn't owe me anything but I was disappointed to find them cracked while replacing o-rings on the pistons.
Pretty easy job to get the parts off the old castings using a hammer and socket. A little heat will help loosen up the brake bleeder seat if you plan on resusing it.
New cylinders appear to have more metal in the area where the old ones cracked. At $275 each I don't want to do it again in my lifetime.
I froze the anchor bolts for several hours and warmed the new castings in the oven to 200 degrees and just used a cheap arbor press from Harbor Freight to install them. Worked slick.
