In cases where a new cylinder is available, I've got to agree with Bob, a new one is usually more economic in the long run than trying to rebuild an old one.
In those cases where a new cylinder isn't available, a dingleberry/ball hone isn't what you want to use to clean up the bore. Given that they have no real amount of pressure on the cutting surface, and that the cutting surfaces are flexible, there is no way they can be relied on to true the bore back to round. Not that the bore will be out of round, per-se, but a three legged hone that will se;f center, and insure a true, round, bore is what you need.
They make a small,three legged hone,(just like the larger ones) made to do just what your talking about, and they are often sold as 'brake cylinder hones'. In fact I bought one the other day to clean up the bore in a small diameter gear. They are usually sold with a medium grit stone. I have no clue what grit it is, but the medium should be sufficient to do a brake cylinder with no problems. I say this because I've done several brake cylinder, and master cylinder bores over the years, and have never had a problem with any leakage, etc when the were put back into use.
