I managed to get the Brake and Clutch master cylinders from the PO yesterday.
The clutch master seems to be in good condition. I can manually actuate the cylinder, and the piston returns (I assume from the spring inside).
The brake master cylinder doesn't seem to be in such good condition. I'm unable to get the piston to move inside the cylinder. It seems stuck near (if not at) the bottom (or back) of the cylinder. I've tried compressed air to see if that would make it move but no luck.
Any suggestions on how I might get the piston out of the cylinder? I thought about running a short line from the clutch cylinder outlet to the brake cylinder outlet to see if I could make it move, but I think the fluid would just flow out the inlet on the BMC.
