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).
