At this point I wouldn't try this with the cylinder in the backing 
plate. You'll just heat up other things that you really don't want to 
disturb, and, at this point, you're already awfully close to just 
having the cylinders all the way out.

When you remove the cylinders, pull the rubber boots off BEFORE you 
pry the cylinders out of the backing plate. That way they'll be okay 
to reuse. Otherwise, they'll be pinched and will have to be replaced.
