Simple fix, just buy a new one, held in by two bolts and a line.

If you've blown the seals out, make sure that you either clean the shoes WELL, or replace them.

Piece of cake, recommend doing both, L and R....because later you will do the other anyway. Put shoes in too if you need em.

The hardest part is breaking free those brake lines from the back of the cylinders. I recomment you buy a "line" wrench to help prevent rounding off the nuts. Do one side at a time ofcourse so you have a reference. I just re-did my entire rear system (I mean everything...soup to nuts) for less that 130.00. What a difference it made AND, most importantly, I finally passed inspection!

I just did mine today. The wheel cylinder was easy, but the brake lines didn't want to play nice. I ended up replacing both of the hard lines back to the splitter.

Easy job...recommend line wrenches..mentioned above. You'll use them again.

Do they really work that well and stop the air from getting back in??

I broke my hand pump vaccum bleeder recently.
