Yeah, guys it seems kinda funny to me. For 50 years I've been a DIY person. I would have tore them apart, got some rouge and a buffer and buffed those pistons myself for 2-ish hours. Then pry out the guide bushings, clean it all up, install the o-rings and sealing rings, scraper and so on. I'd be 6 hours or more and $240 in materials but it would be done my way.
