A cheap break (I just did that to see what it felt like to type it
wrong, so many people seem to enjoy it) spreader from your flaps will
put pressure on the piston inline with the cylinder... i.e. it pushed
straight in. If you push the piston at any angle at all, it can jam in
the cylinder.

It's good insurance and easy to use.
