I need some ingenuity. What should have taken 2 hours for a master/slave swap, turned into me getting stuck because the slave cylinder appears to be fused with the bracket due to my guess of rust. It would be easy to break it off if you could actually get a wrench on it, but the cylinder in there doesn't have the notches like the long throw I purchased. So I WD-40'd it and put some a sliver of wood at the end and pounded it gently a few times and nothing. I even hooked it back up with the c-clip/snap rings still removed to see if the pressure from engaging the clutch would break it loose but no go. Am I missing some there here? The only things that appear to hold the cylinder in place are the two snap rings and the bolt with the cotter pin. Is this thing basically just stuck and I need to put more pressure to break it loose from the rust?
