there is nothing to resleeve on these actually. rubber gasket on master
cylinder for shaft from booster to slide in.
use socket and impact wrench on the frozen cylinder cover and your
likelihood of getting it off ok increases a lot. Also penetrating fluid too
of course.
one of my 55s has a plastic cap in it!!! not authentic but wonderful.
First item I ever liked plastic!!!

Subject: IML: 55 master cylinders
Hello fellow!
Been reading all the info
re;55 Imp power brakes. I have a 55. Got my master done by White Post
Restorations in Virginia. They did a fine job of re=sleeving and restoring
at a reasonable price though I've forgotten the exact amount.
A word of caution to you who own these cars-the square nut topped cylinder
cover WILL RUST SHUT if any moisture is present in your system. When you try
to "wrench" it off, the hollow nut will crumble and then you have a real
problem!! This happened to me, and I had to drill a hole in the top to
replenish the fluid until White rebuilt it. I would suggest turning the
cover a few times each year to prevent this from happening--
