Look for cap that holds rod on

Pull the master as Bryan suggests...the only way to take it apart. First off, look for the end cap for the master that holds the ball end to the master. It's probably on the floor or resting on some part under the dash. This cap slides over the end of the master and holds the rod in. If you can't find it, order a rebuilt master from a site sponsor rather than a kluge.
Clamp off the hose that comes from the brake fluid reservoir, so you don't get brake fluid all over the place. Small vice grip or c clamp will do the trick. Unscrew the clutch hydraulic line before you unbolt the master. Finally unbolt the master.
Then you can access the circlip inside the cylinder to release the piston and seals. There is a spring that will push the piston out. If the spring is broken, compressed air to the fluid line hole will pop it out. The rebuild is straightforward, but carefully inspect the cylinder bore. If you see any pitting or scratches, the master is shot, and the new seals will leak or soon tear.
