Pretty easy really, just get the mc and the slave off the car and compress
the cylinder (beware, brake fluid!) then remove the circlip, all parts will
come out....  Get some fine sandpaper and a dowel twist hone the cylinder
bore LIGHTLY to remove the scoring, then  put some brake fluid in the bore,
put new spring, piston with seal, (rubber boot on slave with new arm) and
replace circlip...  Takes about 1/2 hour to do both....
