The restoration book 'Guide to purchase & D.I.Y. restoration of the MGB' by
Lindsay Porter has a section on rebuilding the dual circuit master cylinder.
Lots of good pictures. The recommendation is to use an ice pick to carefully
make holes in the nylon washer until it can be removed. I've tried this
method twice and was only successful once. On the unsuccesfulI rebuild I
ended up scoring the piston with the ice pick. I bought a rebuilt unit that
time.
Good luck.
