Master Cylinder Woes!

Amazing!

I did a google search looking for a forum to answer this same question. I also had believed that it would be too much hassle to pull the pushrod from the pedal. So I took a little advise from you guys. I outsmarted the thing though. I sprayed a little cooking oil into the rubber ring and put a long bolt through the pushrod eyelet. I then sat on the floor, put both feet over the flange and pulled the bolt. I bounced a little, but I got the pushrod out without beating on it!

Thanks for being here and answering stupid questions.
