I just read through their PDF about cleaning. I am glad I have been using Moroso for decades. I just hate companies that assume racers are complete idiots and not capable of if unscrewing 2 end caps, pushing a piston out and changing 4 o-rings. Just ridiculous. Written by lawyers. Moroso sells a kit to rebuild theirs. To get the Canton one apart, you need a big spanner wrench and a rubber strap wrench to hold the cylinder so you don't distort it. Do not put it in any kind of vise. Or you can send it back to them I guess. Could probably take it apart, clean it out and put it back together with new o-rings in 1/2 hour. As prickly as they seem to be about opening it, getting the correct o-rings may be a bit of an issue. I would call them.
