[Mgs] clutch slave cylinder struggle

[Councill, David]

I'll have to try this grease gun idea if I can find a fitting. Worst
case scenario though is that I can always buy a new slave cylinder from
a Moss distributer for about $50 USD barring any other solutions.

The other strategy is to use a grease gun to force grease into the
cylinder.  A grease gun can actually generate considerable pressure.
Also, if you are successful, the piston does not fire across the garage,
which can happen with air pressure.  Of course, if the cylinder is that
frozen, what are the chances that the cylinder walls will be good enough
to rebuild?  Then you have to find another core, or have it sleeved in
brass or stainless.  That probably isn't really worth doing for a part
that is available from the usual suspects.  Good luck.
