I have rebuilt 66-on rear wheel cylinders on my shelf, and I have 
plenty of rebuild kits for those, but I STRONGLY recommend rebuilding 
them yourself ON THE CAR. This is a LOT less work and is much less 
likely to break other parts. It's what I've always done on my own
cars and any other cars that end up here for brake work.

The only reason to do it differently is if the bleed valves are 
broken off. Then I have to remove them to get the broken bleeders 
out.
