See pics. Question for the collective. Brembo rebuild kit for handle bar master cylinder. Piston sema to be held in place by yellow metal ring. Brass,bronze. Not a snap ring. Not a spiral wound ring. So. How does it get removed? Assuming pressed in. See pics of rebuild kit. Assuming step in bore. Washer behind brass o ring. Tried snapping piton and unloading. Cleaned exposed bore. Lube. No joy. In freezer over night. Any all help direction greatly appreciated.

If you take off hose on back, you insert a small punch in the hole and knock it forward & out of there. To lock it back in place you put on plastic or rubber ring under the metal cup ring . I use a deepwell socket that fits in bore w/screwdriver in center to push piston in while you tap on socket to seat the ring all way home. It will lock in place.
You can use a nail in the hole, make sure end is not a point.
Almost forgot: put new washers on banjo bolt on hose.
Nice V65!

Tip. Use old master cylinder washer to drive in locking ring. Assemble piston,spring washer ring from rebuild kit. Slip oem washer over piston. Same i.d.,same o.d. push in place with pvc pipe. Easy. Now I know what the clutch handle was supposed to feel like
