Guest PortCity PanHead Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Howdy folks!I've been searching around here and VCCA with no luck finding tips on this. I have the master cylinder out of the car, but I cannot figure out how to remove the shaft that the brake pedal pivots on. It's a manual, so the clutch pedal slipped off after pulling the lock ring with no troubles, but it looks like that shaft is held in by a small ~3/16" pin. Do I just need to PB blast it and hammer it out, or is it a screw of some kind? The top side is flush with the cylinder casting, but the bottom is recessed a bit and I can't tell if there's a slot or anything to unscrew it, even after cleaning.Thanks in advance!

Guest TOM RADWILL Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The pin has a slight taper, should tap out easily, pin will slide out and brake pedal will be seperate from master cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PortCity PanHead Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wonderful! Thank you so much!! I didn't want to go banging on the thing if threads were involved. Thanks Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PortCity PanHead Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well, the casting cracked while I was knocking the pin out :mad: I'll be trolling ebay for another master cylinder unless someone has another idea for me. Might be a good thing though because I wasn't hitting it very hard at all, I get the sneaking suspicion it was already weak/cracked prior to my hammering.
