Dave has taken care of me in the past and you will be happy dealing with him.
Go to Sponsors at the top of the page, you will find him there, vs. going through e-bay.
I just replaced, master, wheel cylinders, and rebuilt power boost on my 55FFPW. Flushed the old break fluid from the lines, and replacing with Silicone to avoid moisture absorption, since I am in a humid climate.
I ground the jaws of a pipe clamp with a dove tail notch and a slight groove to fit on the shoes. got a short piece of pipe, screwed on the clamp end with the crank and put the other end on backwards. Adjusted it on the shoes and cranked it open, removed the old cylinder, put dust caps on the shoes, lined up the pistons with the shoe and backed off on the screw clamp, put dust caps on the cylinder. Was easier than removing and reattaching spring.
Good luck...Ray
