Finally getting started on the brakes. I have removed the master and wheel cylinders. Now I have questions.

I will be rebuilding all of the cylinders.

Question #1: The brake shoes still have some good meat on them. Any concerns about using them after sitting for 45 years?

Question #2: Bearings. They appear to be in great shape. No rust or anything. The grease that was in there appears to have turned into a "gel". Can the bearing be cleaned and greased and reused? If replaced, I am considering newer style roller bearings. Any concerns with the roller bearings? Where would you buy bearings?

My Grandfather bought it new and Dad drove it through highschool. The 3rd & 4th generations put it back on the road on 8/8/2015!
