Anything that's paper, replace. The rest you may be able to get another cycle out of if desperate. If it's deep and requires a teardown to replace, such as the case through-bolt o-rings, then I would pony up for new. When servicing crush washers, you may find that quick wet-sanding on a flat surface gives perfect, fresh sealing face. I've done that in the past when I did not have a new washer on hand and needed a fast, reliable repair.
