Rebuilding S1 Master Cylinder

More like rambling thoughts than ideas.
There is nothing to prevent the piston from coming out, other than crud and corrosion. Try to push the piston in further and clean the bore as well as you can. A little PB Blaster might help. Then try air. If air does not do it, you can plumb a grease gun to the cylinder outlet port, then that sucker will come out, guaranteed! However, if the bore is that bad, you will almost certainly need a new unit.

When you get it apart have the master sleeved with brass and bored to stock size and it should last a life time

One other source for sleeving your master cylinder. They concentrate on British, and their prices are comparable to White Post. Quick turn-around service also.

Be careful with these guys, I sent them a Alpine clutch master and they really messed it up, I had to throw it out, it would never keep fluid in it for long.
