Hi gang:

I posted last week about how to remove the clutch
master and slave cylinder on a Coupe GT and got a few
suggestions and hints.

This weekend I set out to remove the parts. The clutch
master cylinder was easy and only took 1/2 hour. But
for the slave cylinder I ran into the problems.

I removed the retaining pin (clip) for the slave
cylinder as recommended by a lister. That was easy too
and took only five mintues with the right drift. But
the slave will not budge out its hole in the bell
housing. I made a long drift out of socket extensions
and really banged on the thing to push towards the
rear of the car. I even broke the bleeder screw. But
it wont budge. Any tips on how to get this thing out
??

I searched the archives and found a procedure for a 
20vt. It stated that after removal of the retaining
screw or bolt (same as my pin) there should be
"lateral movement."  I have no movement in mine. It
appears really stuck in there.

Thanks for any replies
