Default PACBRAKE VAC CYLINDER REBUILD??

HAS ANYONE TRIED REBUILDING THE VAC CYLINDER ON YOUR PACBRAKE?? I HAVE ENGINE BRAKES ON BOTH MY 95 RAM 4X4 AND 93 D250 2WD, AND THEY ARE BOTH STARTING TO STICK. THERE CAN'T BE MORE THAT A COUPLE OF ORINGS BUT PACBRAKE WANTS TO SELL ME THE WHOLE THING!!! ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTION OON HOW TO TAKE THE CYLINDER APART?? PACBRAKE'S WEBSITE SAYS THAT EARLY MODELS HAVE RIVETED CYLINDERS, I LOOKED AND DIDN'T SEE ANY RIVETS? YOUR SITE IS FULL OF LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION SO ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I BUILT MY 95 FROM THE GROUND UP AND RAN MY OWN SERVICE TRUCK FOR 8 YEARS, I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING A MEMBER! THANKS

How much do they want? Banks charges over $400 for their air cylinder.
I took my banks one apart and couldn't match up the right orings. Banks had them for under $3.00 but wouldn't ship.

Thanks for the reply, they want about $150.00. I know that's cheeper than the banks cylinder but its still alot these days. So I guess that I'll tear into it the weekend, I have access to many different orings. I'll post what I find. I just didn't know how the end caps were attached? Pressed,screw, etc!! But I guess I'll find out.
