How do you remove the pushrod from the master cylinder? I understand that I need to use it when changing from single mc (from 66) to dual mc (from 67).

They make a special tool to remove the clip. You can try to use needle nose pliers  to collapse it enough to get a small screwdriver in between the master cylinder and the clip and then snap it out. If you contact Snap-on tool company, and explain the exact problem, they can probably send you the correct tool to do it.

I removed the pushrod. The white retainer (ring) broke in the process. Can the retainer (black clip) be used from the new 67 pushrod?
