It's been a few years now but I once was able to get new the wheel with the pimples on them that engage the ends of the wheel cylinders. I braised them onto the existing shafts with new springs. It has worked for many years now. I have long used Never Seize compound on the aluminum pistons, the threads on the adjusters, front and rear, and anything else I can think of just to ward off the devils of rust. Don't forget the bleed screws in the wheel cylinders.
