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 =E2=80=9Ccame out=E2=80=9D of the rubber, it sounds like the center =
of the disc is some how flawed.  But FWIW, I can=E2=80=99t imagine how =
that would happen unless something was quite odd in the assembly.
