I've had odd ***** through the years where they were made of unobtanium.

Yeah, there is that...... Also, if you are on a really tight budget, rebuild kits are cheaper, but, by the time you buy the hone, and the kits, likely surpassed the cost of new cylinders....... (provided you can find them.....)

The last time I replaced one was because the fluid leaking out of it made the brakes super grabby on that wheel. I went to put the new one on and it didn't fit. I returned that and compared it to others with the same part number that I confirmed myself thinking that the parts store messed up. It was the right part number but it just wouldn't fit so I had to grind a little off the body to make it fit.

I’ve replaced the cylinders with one ton cylinders, and my brakes are better than ever, thank you all!
