Thanks you guys for the replies, I finally got it out after giving it a few nice hard taps and wd-40'd it enough so that after I pulled the boot back far enough I could tap it back out the top of the bracket. I then sanded out the rust on the inside of the bracket. The slave might have been an aftermarket unit as it has a "cnc" marking on the boot. But it doesn't appear to be a long throw.
So now I'm onto the master and low and behold I get it out and the stud that screws into the pedal assembly is a lot shorter on this CNC master unit than the stock looking piece I pulled out. It never ends ugh! I will post a picture in a bit showing the difference. Do you guys know what the deal with that is? Talk about a frustrating night. Getting it out was no walk in the park either when you are 6'3. You need a midget to get any sort of an arm/wrench on those bolts/nuts.
