So far I have everything out except the piston, which doesn't seem to be able to move.
Do you think the problem lies in its being stuck?
Or does the metal ring make it hard to move?
How would you advise me to get it out?

And for my sins, I damaged the yellow plastic hub cover when fiddling with the circlip. Would anyone know where I could get another like it?
Thanks

I've stuck some pictures in this thread for the removal and refit of the B2 piston (along with the rest of the bits in a 722.118!)

722.118 Automatic transmission rebuild (Monster DIY)

If you've broken the plastic bits then my guess would be that that is game over for that part. If you're unsure you could post a picture - we might be able to help - however the general feeling here is not to add glue to a transmission environment...

My solution to your problem was to cut up yogurt pots.
