The piston is free moving against the spring pressure, so on removing the circlip and retaining washer, I'm expecting the "innards" to come out - but they won't. There is no discernable ridge stopping the piston from coming out, and the manual (which is helpful to a point) suggests the piston and valve assembly can be pulled out

The Coupe manual shows the later type master cylinder with integral reservoir, whereas the early type (mine) has a bolted on plastic reservoir. I wouldn't expect the innards to be any different. Any ideas how I get it apart ?
