Just got to remove piston now, is this by gently tapping piston down through the cocking lever slot until there’s something to get hold of?
Cheers.
Basically, yes. It can sometimes help to tap it one way a bit then tap it back then tap it forward again etc. A squirt of a lubricant on the piston body from both ends can help . Removing the tap can help this but if you are concerned, stay with lubrication from the cylinder end.
It will come out....
