Default rebuilding slave cylinder

I want to rebuild the slave cylinder that started leaking.. I can see a nick in the slave cylinder bore and it looks like there is a little oxidation/build up in the bore.. Where you would guys go from here? I have the replacement seals/clip

you can get a bore hone from any decent auto parts store for a few bucks and hone it out.

Just replace it with new and save yourself the hassle.

simplest would be to replace, although you could probably hone it out, and then buy some oversize seals from Parker EPS. You would have to educate yourself to pick the seals and the rebore size.

I only bring up that option because I have been designing hydraulics for the past two days.
