<VV> Corvan brake Question

[J. R. Read]

Remove the cylinder from the backing plate.  Two nuts.  May require liberal amounts of penetrating oil before turning.
 
Later, JR

I am servicing the brake cylinders and the left rear cylinder has a 1/4"  
back plate bent 45% and it blocks the piston from coming out. What is the 
reason  for this ???  I ground one end down so I could get the pistons out. 
Don't  know why this is needed.
