Thanks Bosswrench, your detailed explanation is spot on... I was able to get a small Dremel drill with metal cutting disc up to the one side of the Clevis and cut off...note pic looking up from floorboard. I was able to remove the small cut clevis piece from end of frozen pin which exposed a larger section of pin. Using a lot of penetrating spray and small vice grip wrench I was able to finally loosen the pin from the clutch pedal. It took me a couple days of wrestling with this off n on to get free....I was thinking of using a small torch to heat the pin but decided against this for a number of reasons...Terrible job to replace in place but no other option with pin frozen to clutch pedal. Removing the two bolts that hold the master clutch cylinder to trunk box is another story but finally got out without the help of another person to hold nuts on trunk side.. waiting for new cylinder to arrive, have deburred the clutch pedal access hole that pin connects using a small round file.. For me this was a 10 out of 10 on scale of difficulty based on access to frozen pin. Thanks for all the comments!
