Kyle, I assume the piston should just pop out of the housing, correct? Well, mine did not. I pushed it out with a master cylinder connected until the fluid leaked out around the edges. Everything was full of dried fluid. I cleaned it all up and put everything back together without ever getting the piston all the way out. Seems to be working for now. I have much better clutch action, but still coming a little early. We will see what the fluid level is tomorrow and if I still have pressure.
Just cehcking to see of there is a clip somewhere or if the piston should come all the way out.
