Someone should mention that the Master cylinder in question has something much 
worse than seals to get out- there's a plastic spacer, way in there, and tight, 
*AND* there's a keeper ring under it, so pressure won't pop it out. You almost 
always have to destroy the spacer to get it out, (new included), being very 
careful of the cylinder bore, and the parts behind the whole time...
