Removal of clutch slave cyl

200 bucks? Who did you go to, the mafia? John's right, its a 10 minute
job at best. You dont want to drill it out. First off its hardened as he
says, but if you break the drill off in ther, youre pretty much biffed.
 Get a good size drift rod or something and swing. Take off the wheel if
you have to and feed it in through there so you can get a good swing.
Make sure its bigger than the ID of the pin. If it fits in the center of
the pin, when you hit it, it will just try to expand it in there.
