Because the tolerances were so tight, I had to disconnect my clutch slave cylinder from my transmission to bleed it. All was well until my clutch slave cylinder piston turned into a projectile.

How do I get the piston back into the slave? It is very stubborn and doesnt want to go back in. I am not fighting any hydraulic pressure in this process.

Do I have to put it in a vice and force the piston back in? I want to avoid damaging the rubber boot obviously.

Thanks,
Brian
