Yes, but you'll need the correct reamer and the knowledge to use it.
I sent my HD8 bodies to Apple Hydraulics for new bushings, shafts and teflon
seals (new seals alone didn't help). If I recall, it was $50/ea at the time
(probably 15 years ago), plus shipping. Well worth it (make sure you clean
thoroughly, mine had some machining crud in them).
