You're right.Before I looked at my car,I found a diagram of the brake pedal in the Beaumont Shop Manual,p.5-13 and it sure looked like a return spring.I just went and had a look under the dash and couldn't see anything resembling a spring unless it's above the plate above the pedal. One end of that rod is held inside the cylinder and only comes out so far.The other end is attached to the brake pedal and the pedal will only come back as far as the rod will let it.If the pedal looks like it should come out further,maybe you could glue the chunk you cut off back on.LOL.Good luck.
