in the process of rebuilding my master cylinder. I got it out no problem. I went to remove the circlip to pull out the piston per the rebuild instructions but the clip has no tabs with little holes to get the pliers in. not sure how to get the circlip out. it spins so its loose. i cant get anything in behind it to pry it out. looks like somebody might have broken the tabs off. Am I SOL? any other way to get it out? the instruction call for pushing the piston in using a mandrel. I can push it in but that seems to have no effect. thought it might loosen the circlip so I could get it with some pliers but no luck.
