Short answer -- like cake with jam, and worth doing.  

It simply involves removing the cylinders, dismantling, checking the bore.  You may find that the bore is pitted.  Some people simply hone them, but I recommend having them resleeved with stainless steel sleeves at a good brake and clutch shop.  With stainless sleeves, you'll only have to replace the rubber seals for the nest twenty years.  If the bore isn't pitted, you only have to replace the rubber seals.
