Aidan;

What's silly about asking?

Outside of maintaining their cleanliness, there's nothing secret or sacred about opening up new wheel cylinders. As a matter of fact, I have a bit of a pre-installation procedure for new wheel cylinders:

1. Pop out pistons, inspect the pistons, seals and bores (imagine how nice the pistons will slide and seals will seal against this surface...smile!)
2. Check lubricant on seals...add a little more Girling red lube...OR, relube with silicon grease if a conversion to DOT5 fluid is planed.
3. Remove bleeding nipple, reinstall with anti-seize on threads...and while I'm playing tinman, lube the fitting threads and mounting hardware holes too.

Cheers
