I rebuilt my front brake cylinders, however I would not do it again as new cylinders are very cost effective. The new cylinders were from Rock Auto and appeared to be very good quality. Looks like your shoes are in great shape, might need to remove any oil residue with brake clean. I would also replace the master cylinder and refill with DOT 5 brake fluid. You would need to flush the system (I used brake clean) prior to converting to DOT 5.

My 2 cents.....
