It should be simple if you have some idea of what you're trying to do 
and have a brake cylinder hone. Sometimes there can be a problem with 
not getting the exact correct parts, so you have to be careful with 
things like piston length. Mainly it's a matter of getting a good  
finish on the cylinder bore and getting everything reasonably clean 
when you reassemble it.

I can do it for you. Most mechanics today have never done one and 
don't want any part of it, but it's not rocket science.
