Turkey day clutch master repair

[NSXASTY]

Today I changed the my slowly leaking clutch master cylinder, and clutch slave cylinder. It was a pain in the butt to get that damn pin back in, that goes through the clutch master cylinder rod and clutch pedal arm. You gotta have a tiny hand to put that pin back in easily. Does anyone have any tips to share on re-installing the pin?

first tip is to have small japanese girl's hand. that work the best.

bend backward. use one finger to fill for it and slide it in. it's actually a lot easier than it look. too me 10 mins. then again, i do have small hand

I found removing the spring for the pedal alot easier. After removing the spring and being upside down for some time, I finally got the pin to slide in.

Definitely have to find a small woman or kid to put pin back in. Extremely tight space vertically and horizontally to left of clutch pedal arm. I was physically unable to fit my forearm in there. If my now ex-girlfriend wasn't there to help I would have been up the creek.
