After typical pedal to floor ,I noticed fluid leaking from boot on slave cylinder,towed home ,removed slave and observed washer in cylinder missing a good section ,rebuilt with kit from autozone which included a new washer and boot ,instructions read to dip new washer in brake fluid and install,and same with new boot . It leaked afterward and I then honed cylinder bore with 400 grit emery cloth and brake fluid ,reassembled and now still no pedal ,it leaks . I have a "one man bleeder " that worked at one point ,but now it seems my problem is not with bleeding but woth my sealing of the cylinder washer against the bore of the cylinder wall . Any tips or tricks to get this thing to get enough pressure to seal? It was perfect before the failure of the slave cylinder.
