separating reservoir from master cylinder

[abcus]

Dear Folks,

I have a 89 g10 wagon.  I tried to look up some threads but no luck. I am replacing the

master cylinder and keeping the plastic reservoir.  I unscrewed the phillips keeper screw at the base of the reservoir.  Can I pry the reservoir off without mashing my seals? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,abcus.
