Removal of clutch slave cyl

[rob hod]

    I would say the bore of the hole that the roll pin sits in is 5mm.
Certainly more than 4.8m.

    Although I've lost track of what car is being discussed here, I did do a
big write up on slave cylinder R&R for the CGT less than two weeks ago, for
the benefit of the archives. Searching for CGT Clutch slave should do it.
You will want to read it anyway for the next step - getting the slave from
the bellhousing.

    IMHO, Britt, the whole secret is getting a pin punch of a reasonable
weight that will transmit the energy of a hammer blow without just sitting
there and 'twanging' and to get a good crack on it with a hammer. Then its
easy to shift. A bit of penetrant may help bring on initial movement of the
pin.
