Teri Ann,
I seem to recall that the piston is held in by a circlip so that shouldn't
happen, it's shown on the detail schematic of the slave cylinder in my TR4
factory manual. Doubt that it's different on a TR6. Piston won't fly out as
you say.
Also I doubt that he will push all that hard and with the bleed valve open
the pressure should be very low.
No 1812 overture in my head.
