na.
If they are siezed I just put new cylinders on, labour spent on removing them is usually more than the cost of a cylinder.
I never un do them either, i just hit them with a hammer to break them off to save time, so no second hand ones either.
It's M6 so nothing fancy, most motorfactors will have them in one of those slide top selection packs they usually have.

I just replaced mine, as you know xriss I fitted new cylinders (came with bleeders attached) only cost about £28 for both of them. I also found on removing old cylinders, even though they looked good the movement on the piston was very notchy, so it could be worth checking that as well?
