I've  never heard of removing the INNARDS of a wheel cylinder, and leaving 
the  cylinder attached to the backing plate. Barbaric!!!
The cylinder MUST be  either replaced or honed off the car.

Harry is one of those car dilettantes like me. We wouldn't do something  like 
that. But thousands of brake shops around the country were doing that same  
trick for years. If you can hone it on the car, they will. It saves time  
(=money) and reduced damaged hose and tube junctions. Late Corvair rears are  
notorious for ruining that short tube that feeds the wheel cylinder from  the 
trailing arm. I like the idea of just standing on the brake pedal -  something will 
give! - Seth
