Fitted Brake cylinders!

Hi Chaps,
as you may know my 360 glt has been in a barn for the last 10 years, last week I drove it out of the barn to an outdoor area, and gave it a good wash.!
So today I thought Id check the condition of the rear brake drums, after a while I managed to remove the outer drum ( took a while with hammer and big screw driver ), inside was pretty rusty, got my dad to press the brake and the cylinder just fell to pieces, anyway to cut a long story short, I had new cylinders, so took it apart, fitted new cylinder, reassembled, and it bloody worked!!!
The moral of this story is, if you, like me, have fists of of ham and fingers of butter,you too can do repairs to a volvo 300!!!!!!!!!!
