Replacing brake booster and master, clutch master, trunk carpet and replacing broken clutch pedal return spring. I removed the 2 roll pins that are supposedly holding the clutch pedal on. Can’t get it to budge with lite persuasion and a little scared to just get the bigger hammer. What do I need to do?

thanks,

stewb

I would soak it in penetrant for a day or two, then check it everyday with moderate taps with a hammer. You could also try using heat. I disassembled two in the last year, one came apart without an issue, the other one wouldn't give up the roll pins. After trying to drill them out and busting a drill bit off through the center, I threw in the towel and took it to a pro.

Stewb, I read this again and now know you already have the pin out.  Maybe clamp the clutch master actuating arm for the clutch master with a vice grips, add a bunch of heat from a mapp gas torch to the clutch pedal base where the pin was removed, and then try to break it loose.  It should pivot and then the shaft will come out.
