122 internal wet brake
 
Has anyone removed the plunger for the wet brake, I got the brake disc out but the plunger doesn't seem to move. Does the plunger come out the front of the housing? Or do I need to remove the fiber discs and press it out the inside? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Mine was stuck with rust and sludge. I would suggest taking the reduction housing off to tap it out with a wood or brass rod. You will probably need to replace the o-ring also.

So you tap it from the inside -> out?

Yes, from the inside out. If the reduction housing is off I'm sure you could also tap it "in" as well.

I have had stuck plungers before, I clean the groove out with an ice pick or similar tool, remove the ball from inside the plunger and clamp a pair of vice grips inside the center hole and on the tapered part of the plunger (oddly enough they grip very well). Spray it with PB Blaster and twist the vice grips that are attached to the plunger like crazy while pulling it out. Never had one not come out that way before (but there is always a first time).

The more time you spend cleaning the bore with something very pointy, the easier it will be to get out.

Good luck.
