        You will need to buy the special hone to do the job... If you 
        have the confidence to do it yourself go ahead... 

        I had mine done by my local machine shop a couple of years ago. 
        For their gaurantee of a job done right, it was worth the ~$100.

        I don't know if it would be worth buying the tool for a job you 
        will only have to do once (future rebuilds will require tapping 
        out the brass sleeves and installing new ones).
