85 PSI of air won't blow out a piston on my brake cylinder, yet I can push
it
in further with a hammer. Would hooking it up to a brake master create any
more pressure than 85 psi? Want to know before I waste my time. >>

That should be more than enough pressure. I used my portable air tank and
the pistons came flying out.
It sounds like a piston is cocked in the cylinder (or severly corroded).
This will probably damage the cylinder beyond repair, unless you have it
sleeved. Time to buy a new cylinder.
