Unless you find pitting due to corrosion.

     Take it apart ,clean it up with a scotchbrite pad ,replace the o rings
and put it back together again . They are normally plugged up because the
brake fluid never gets changed . DO both sides and flush clean fluid through
them before you take it apart . There are really nothing to them .
