Paul,
Just went to the local auto parts store and got a cylinder hone.  It
consists of two "honing" stones approx.  1 inch long and 1/4" wide.  It
fits in my electric hand drill (1/4" shank) and then use a little oil
and be careful.  There was a ridge of built-up s**t in mine that was
easily removed.  Then I just flushed it and installed new seal and
voila!

Pic at: www.bobstools.net/Store/LS10000.html  or go to www.google.com
and search for "brake cylinder hone".  Mine has two stones.  This one
has three.
