Default Changing Brake Booster

I've ran into a problem while changing my brake booster. The problem is with the pin that connects the push rod for the booster to the brake pedal. It is so rusty that it won't come out. I don't want to use my heat wrench in there. Is there another way?

Soak that puppy with Kroil / PB Blaster rust dissolver. Try and grab the pin end with pliers and turn it to break it loose, then push it out. It always sounds so much easier when I write it than doing it.


Good Luck, I've been there.
