Default Removing cotter pin on LCA

How do i take off the cotter pin on the LCA? I Wd'd it, tried prying it out, using a flathead and screw driver to push it out, and a mini hammer to hammer it out. nothing, it doesnt budge. what do i do? Also this is for a Clutch replacement.

I already tried doing it harder, because of it i got my knuckle scrapped and i almost broke my thumb. -=D

God i Love DIYs. -=D it is my 1st one hahah!

unbent it and pull it out jk im sure you tried that, if you look there are 2 sets of holes in the ball joint drill through the empty one and it will sever the pin in the center then pull each side out, when you put the new one in use a little anti-seize so it doesnt get stuck in there again

It loosens rusted bolts and other things, I have used it and I'm always iffy on it, I guess it can't hurt.

Anyways sometimes they do break though, then I have to use my dental picks to poke them out, hopefully you can get it.

If it's being a bitch, just cut the thing out. They're "suppossed" to be replaced every time anyways, and they're cheap to buy replacements, just take the old one to the store for the right size.
