Here's the time to swap them to disc brakes. Then you don't have to worry about the rear brake cylinders leaking.

I would change whole wheel cylinder. You dont want to mess with them, I remember one failed on our old blazer and brakes failed. Glad there were no cars around or it could've been major accident.
