You could always try a rebuild kit. $25 for kit that works on both sides.

I tried installing a brake cylinder seal and now I've got another leaky cylinder...I'm about ready to upgrade to new rear brakes.

you should be able to get one shipped to you for no more than $40 in the classifieds forums. ie used off parts car.

you wont need any special tool to rebuild . you can use plier to twist caliper piston back in.
