Edwin, cylinders aren't that expensive, about $15 dollars but they are a
bear to put on. Call the local stores and ask for a rebuild kit. I have
found that you can usually get common parts locally. I just checked on
Felpro umbrella seals for the B valves and found them at Parts America for
$9.95.Now that I see the part # for the A brakes I'll order a couple of
sets for them now.
