I'm trying to rebuild the right rear brake cylinder and can't figure out how to get the metal disk off so I can replace the rubber piston cup without destroying the metal disk.post-4680-14150829259142_thumb.jpg

Could someone please help me out?

Thank you!

The Service Manual is always useful. Better drawing too.

Looking at the pictures and having worked on similar things, I think that the seal you're trying to replace just slips off over what you're calling the metal disc. The "metal disc" is actually the top of the piston (as CO suggests above). It's all one piece. Slip a thin screwdriver or pick under the rubber and it should peel off. It's doughnut shaped.
