Exactly. The only pressure of the release bearing on the cover plate
should be from the light spring that is inside the slave cylinder. When
released you should be able to push the piston further back into the
cylinder with the release arm, which displaces fluid into the master
(watch it doesn't overflow). When you release it again it should slowly
come back out to put the release bearing back in contact with the cover
plate.
That's what makes it self-adjusting - the piston moves out bit by as the
release bearing and friction plate wear down, then is put back in again
when you replace them.
It's exactly the same as calipers and pads. Has anyone ever suggested
you change the length of the pistons if you have a brake fault? If they
are too long you wouldn't be able to get the caliper with new pads over
a new disk. If they are too short you can push the seals past the end
of the cylinders.
