    Quite common for the shaft to seize up on these brakes. You will likely have to remove the slave cylinder, then remove the outer housing ( held on by 3 bolts) Heat up the area where the shaft goes through with a torch, or soak generously in penetrating oil and wait patiently. Take the shaft out clean it up and clean the bore, reassemble.
