Moss supplies an inexpensive rebuild kit that contains the piston seals
and, IIRC, a couple of springs. Probably worth doing if you have
everything else apart, but I wouldn't muck around with it unless it was
leaking. It's easy enough to rebuild once you get the thing off. Liquid
wrench and proper flare wrenches will be good friends if you need to
remove it. Most of these things haven't seen any attention since the car
was built so all the fittings tend to be rusted or locked in tight from
thermal cycling.
Cheers,
