I had the same problem with a clutch master cylinder--you'd push the pedal
down and the clutch would stay depressed--turned out there was a rubber
washer, called 'End Seal' inserted between the cup of the piston and the
mushroom end of the pushrod, which, inside of the circlip and retaining
washer, depressed the piston just enough to prevent the return of the fluid
to the reservoir.
The Brake Cylinder on P 265 of the Factory Manual, shows this as item 8.
I removed it and the cylinder works fine.
Another former BN2 owner I know had the same problem with his brake
cylinder.
