[urq] Clutch slave cylinder retaining pin-removal?

[Tom Saltino]

No ridicule from this camp either.....

I do the same, but I use a drift pin instead of an allen head.  I use a little dumb-dumb to hold it in the correct socket.  I also place a glob of axle grease on the side where the pin comes out to "catch" the pin.

... no ridicule from this camp ... sounds pretty much the same as what I
do.  The only thing to be careful of is to make sure you've got the
correct Allen bit ... my first attempt I used one I thought was the
right one, but it almost wedged inside the roll pin!  Sorry, I don't
have the size for you ... and, I used an SAE size ... as I rarely have
call for them in the intended use ... ;-)
