Did you get new stainless pistons with the stainless steel sleeve brake cylinder rework?

I know they put new pistons in there but I never inspected them to see if they were stainless as well.... They have 2 different options, they can just resleeve yours and give them back or they can put together a whole brake cylinder, ready to run. I went with choice two since I am quite lazy.

You can modify a a set of Jeep rear shoes. You need to cut the top end off the shoe and grind the spring area on the bottom. I did mine last year and they work great. Here's one thread:

Brake Shoes

You don't need to build the jig that he shows in the pic. I did mine by measuring then cutting with a bandsaw.

I took my last set to a local brake shop and the guy relined them for 7 bucks apiece.

This is what I did as well. It was cheap and I had them relined with carbon metallic.

'Round these parts there doesn't seem to be many relining shops left anymore. I had to send my park brake band out through a parts store for relining. Still wasn't too bad at $25.
