Got 'em both out and partially rebuilt, thanks for the help. I did get it
out with the cap on, with a few "slight" raps from a soft block of wood and
it slide most of the way out.
As an FYI Moss has their part numbers for the Spit slave rebuild kits
reversed, I have an 80 and asked for the 77-80 kit, 583-150 and the piston
seal was WAY too small in diameter and width. I called Moss and a Sales guy
measured the seal from the xxx-140 kit and that was the correct size. So I
believe 140 is for 77-80, and 150 is for 71-77. I'd still measure the
diameter of the piston though to be sure before ordering, the size
difference is dramatic.
