Randy,
       The only thing holding the piston and associated parts inside your 
brake master cylinder is a snap ring and about 3/16" of aluminum at the very end 
of the brake master cylinder's bore.  If someone tries to use force to remove 
your 'Club', that small area of aluminum will tear away from the cylinder and 
the brake pedal will jump up under the dashboard, and the reservoir will dump 
its contents on your floor.  I saw the result of what I am reporting about 15 
years back in a Tiger and I sold the owner a new brake master cylinder since 
the original was not repairable (price-wise).
