question rebuilding my MW master cylinder

[fayjo56]

This is probably a daft question:blush: but I know Im among friends. I am re-assembling my master cylinder, with new rubbers. The primary piston (the one the push rod comes in contact with) at the moment 'pops out' of the end of the cylinder. Will it do this until fitted on the chassis so the pushrod holds it in, or have I done something wrong?. So if this is the case do I fit the rubber boot when the master cylinder is in situ? Hope I am making some sort of sense.:nut:

there's a circlip holding it in. If you look up Danny p's master cylinder thread and there's a sectional picture on there showing it.

Ahhh, I thought I had missed something! Rust was holding it in when I took it apart! Cheers John.
