I am in the process of rebuilding the master cylinder for the  clutch in my 
six. I am having a problem disassembling the piston in the MC.  I have removed 
the rubber boot, taken the circlip out and removed the push rod  and washer. I 
thought the piston would then come out but it won't. I can push  the piston 
against the spring into the bore and the spring will push it back up  and just 
stop where the circlip was. It sounds like metal on metal when it  reaches the 
top. There seems to be a lip in the cylinder holding the piston in.  How do I 
remove this. Should I try scraping it out with a knife while holding  the 
piston down with a screw driver? Any hints would be appreciated. 
 
TIA,
Peter Schoppelry
