  Hello all.
I pulled apart the brake actuator today and the whole thing just fell out of the rubber boot?  Rubber boot was split.  There is a circle clip up next to the master cylinder plunger still in place.

  Here is a picture of my brake setup which does not match the picture below from the workshop manual.
My question:  How is the brake actuating rod retained in the master cylinder so it will not come out?

Thanks
There are so many oddities here.  First, at one end, the plunger should  have a disc at the end, with a circlip that holds it in.  That rubber boot would likely hold in the disc, even if the circlip broke.  So since it “came out” of the rubber, it sounds like the center of the disc is some how flawed.  But FWIW, I can’t imagine how that would happen unless something was quite odd in the assembly.

I had a little scare the other day backing out of the DMV parking lot.  No Brakes.  Discovered that the brake plunger had come out of the rubber sleeve going into the master cylinder.
The only thing that could have happened is when I got out, my foot pulled the pedal back towards the interior and this pulled the plunger out.
It only had the spring, plunger and rubber plug to hold the plunger into the master cylinder.
Is there suppose to be something else to hold the plunger in place?
Thanks

Joel,Your master cylinder was apparently assembled without the circlip.  See #2 in the attached from the workshop manual.
