83 gl1100 interstate rear master cylinder

[danmercer214]

Hi guys,
I just took out the rear master cylinder. Trying to get the snap ring out. The ends broke off and the end is very rusty. Anyone have any ideas on how to get that out? I would appreciate any help that you guys can offer. Thank you in advance.

Hate when that happens. I soak it in penetrating oil (Seafoam Deep Creep is my favorite that I find works best) for a couple days, then go at it with a few different picks and hooks until I get it free.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

you can also drill a very small hole from through the side of the MC and push a pick through the hole to press inward on the circlip, then pry it out with another pick.
