Long ago when I did tech at a local track for a few years, it was not unusual for me to reach in and give the brake pedal a jerk up and then a push down on the Mopars. Kind of surprising that some folks are unaware of the issue and how to prevent it.

As a Ford guy this is quite a foreign problem. Every pushrod i've tried to remove from a master cylinder required tools and sometimes naughty words. The manual brake ones have a groove in the pushrod and a clip

Here's an aftermarket adjustable one that shows it.
