The one that is in it now also has no pressure with the pedal removed. I can easily press it in with my hands.

The original still has fluid in it, since it is a closed system I never removed the fluid.

Once I remove the quick connect I will be able to remove the one in it. I just had to come in from the heat for a break.

I wonder if forcing the pedal up when the slave is stuck would cause the cylinder to fail?
