I would strongly advise against trying to rebuild one of these by simple
re-kitting. Have tried to do this a couple of times, as have others and I
can assure you that it doesn't work, or doesn't for long. There are people
around who will re-sleeve the cylinder and put new seals in it. I'm told
that this is more successful but have not tried it myself, preferring to
use a new cylinder when required.
