The increase in pressure will push them out. It may do the same for that, but again, I have no first hand experience with that part.

Below is the stack up of how it all came apart when I rebuilt it. It is the large oiston that is behind the cap. Your idea might work. Just wondering how much of a mess it makes (do it do it in the driveway, or over the yard where a mess isn't as noticeable, hahaha)
