Json,
If it is anything like my 84 505 Ate caliper, after removing the
spring and the outside of the caliper you will need to tap on the
cylinder (side to side) with a plastic hammer. Look carefully at the
sides of the cylinder there may be two ears that indicate that it slips
on to the slide (if that makes sense). Careful tapping should free the
cylinder.
