Twenty years in the business and I have seen two replies that tell you to just buy the replacement parts. One is a parts salesman and the other is a parts changer. The liability did not come from bad parts or bad seals but from incompetent parts changers.
I know it is beyond the scope of a lot of the folks out there, but hone the cylinder ,check the piston for pitting, replace the seals ,bleed the brakes and check the pedal.
I bought and installed many "remanufactured master cylinders" that did not work.
If you think you can do it ,do it . If you give up the parts man
will still be there to sell you a master cyl.
I think you can do it.

Of course he can, and you can help him to attain that goal. Since you seem to have all the answers, I'm sure you can arrange for him to acquire the seal kit at a modest price, rather then the $200+ it would set him back at the dealer. Please don't insinuate that other members of this forum are here to profit at this man's expense. I, for one, resent it, and I would think that stevebfl, one of the most valued members of this forum, may be less than pleased with your characterization of him as a "parts changer". Please don't let wolf_walker down, now that you've assured us that this can be easily done.
