New Master Cylinder Won't Go On

I am changing my master cylinder on my ZL1. When removing the old master cylinder, I could not remove the nuts with my hand. Had to use a wrench the whole time.
I cannot for the life of me get the new master cylinder on at all. The springs in the brake booster are all the way forward, and no matter how hard I push, I cannot get the master cylinder far down enough to even start threading the nuts.
Am I missing something?

Use a long screwdriver or screwdriver to gently push the piston back deeper into the booster. Do not use too much force to avoid damaging the seal inside.

I guess he double-posted on this problem, but he figured it out:
