You can rebuild them. Of course you have 4 so it is going to sting a little bit. 
Take them apart and see what you need. Bam has the rebuild kits and the part that I linked you to before is what is likely bound up on your set up. They can be honed out some times but you will probably find that things are scored up a little bit. I am trying to find out what the difference is on the Bravo set ups so that maybe I can jsut get some of those. They may work and should be easier to find. I know that when a buddy of mine was in a bind I gave him a TRS cylinder to put on his Alpha and it worked fine just a little longer.

I'm pretty sure these are the internal ones. The lines screw in right the mount point.
Jon I was wondering about bravo's. These are so locked up there has to be some scoring inside. I tried to unscrew the end off last night with a pipe wrench and a breaker bar, and it wouldn't budge. That is how they come apart right?

You say they are the external line design?They have one of the lines running up the side of the cylinder on the outside?Overhaul kits for those are $120 each.Then if you have any 'hard parts' damaged inside (which is very possible)you will be most likely out of luck.It is almost impossible to find parts for those.That was a junk design.You would be better to switch to the internal line design.Just my opinion.There is a nice pair on ebay with the lines and connector block for $400 or make offer.The guy lives in Irvine.You can contact him and he may have more than 1 set.I know at one time he had 2 complete drive setups he was parting out.You see them pretty often on ebay and Offshore Only classifieds.I bought a nice pair off ebay for $200 that I am keeping for spares.
I just threw him an offer. We'll see what happens. Thanks Jim

That's how they come apart all right.I put the end that the lines screw into in a BIG vice Ive got.Then unscrew the cap with a BIG pipe wrench.If all you needed was the O-ring kits it would be one thing but if you have to start replacing parts it could get expensive real quick.The cylinder sleeve inside those which the pistons actually ride in are over $100.Those trim cyls.before they became NLA were $900 each.I seen reproductions which you can get now for $725.Sounds like your on the right track.You could probably find someone who would want them old ones for parts!You may even be able to take them all 4 apart and make a couple of good ones.

Are they backwards thread or standard? Am I'm glad to hear a big vice and big wrench. I put some decent pressure on it and when it didn't budge I kinda had to scratch my head.
EBay guy doesn't really wanna sell them to me because I've never purchased or sold anything on EBay. I'm just a buy in person kinda guy and never wanted to wait on the EBay thing.
Daredevil do you have some for sale?
