Is there a trick to removing a stuck clutch cylinder clevis pin?

I've tried soaking it in wd40, hitting it, shouting at it.

I'm about to take an angle grinder to a perfectly usable master cylinder if I dont find a way soon!

how about pulling the MC up out of the hole so you can get at it from the bulkhead side, jamming the pedal down will help.. Just an idea, so I'm not sure if there is enough room.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Maybe grinding the head off it will develop enough heat to free it off.

lol I also recommend a clevis pin installation tool when doing the reverse, and the use of an r clip to retain it

I've managed to get them out before with a pair of long nose visegrips and worked them out. Painstaking but it has worked

I've got fed up, lifted the cylinder and cut the pushrod.

Now going to remove the pedalbox and punch out the pin.

Job jobbed.

I have a clutch cylinder on the scrap pile. I can pull the pushrod out of it if you want it to save your cylinder.

Cheers for the offer, but I only want the old one off so I can modify and fit my wilwood cylinder.
