I have rear cyl kits, rebuilt rear cyls, and rear brake shoes. 
Frankly, I've never had to replace a rear cylinder. Unless the bleed 
valve is broken off, just hone it ON the car and put it back 
together. Most of the time you can get away without even replacing 
any parts; just clean them up with a paper towel, lightly lube with a 
SILICONE grease, put it all back together, and bleed.

If the brakes seem to be staying one, consider the possibility that 
the rear hoses have failed and are clogged. I have new replacements, 
including the RR, which no one else has.
