Unless your brake cylinder castings (master and wheel) are in excellent condition, I'd strongly suggest having then sleeved with stainless steel. It's a one time expense that will assure they can be rebuilt repeatedly. and a good polished surface on the sleeve will make those new cups last much longer between rebuilds. It's a pretty simple procedure that any machinist worthy of the name should be able to do.
