You got it right. I would put some sil glide on the rubbers and in the cyclinders.  Make installation much easy and just works better.  Or at least some brake fluid in the cyclinder and on the rubber cups.

Subject: IML: 1956 Imperial WHEEL CYLINDERS

Im sorry everyone but I was tired and stupid last night when I asked the question about cylinders. What I was talking about were the Wheel Cylinder kits. The kits come pakaged so you can rebuild the front or the rears. The original wheel cylinders have an aluminum PISTON with the rubber boot made on the piston and then one spring. My question is what goes back in the cylinder from the generic rebuild kit? I would assume we have to use the original PISTON. The only thing I can see how to make them work is as follows.

 

Slide the spring in the cylinder.

Slide the rubber cup in the cylinder.

Slide the original PISTON with the Original rubber boot made on the piston in the cylinder.

Then of course the boot and link.

 

Please correct me if this is wrong. The cylinders have been honed and ready.

 

Thanks for any help.
