[6pack] [TR] clutch MC will not come apart

With the bore facing downward slam it very hard at an angle onto a wooden  
surface.  I use my workbench.

Thanks to all who responded to my post on removing the piston from the  
clutch master cylinder. Most post were to slam it down on a wooden surface and  
even to use PB Blaster first. Others were to cover with a towel and then use  
compressed air. I had my doubts, but I slammed it onto my work bench and the  
piston went to the end of the bore. I then continued to tap it on the bench  
where the flange bolts on the firewall. The piston came out far enough to grab a  
hold and pull it out.
 
After looking at the piston, I noticed that most of the chrome coating has  
worn off the sides. Is it OK to use this way after replacing the seals?
