I'm trying to figure out how to get the pin out that holds the slave cylinder. Which direction does it come out? Towards the drivers side or the passenger side?

If it is like a 4kq or 5ktq (and I imagine it is) you drive it out from driver's side to passenger's side. Use a long extension on the drift/punch and go in from the driver's side wheel well through the tie rod opening. The tip of the drift needs to be large enough so as not to go inside the pin (which expands it and makes it more difficult to remove), yet small enough to got into the hole the pin is in. It can be a real bear to get out. It has been a long time since I did one (on a 4kq) and the last time I did one it was actually not too bad. HTH and good luck.

Wow, you got really lucky. Sometimes that pin is stuck but good. Great work!
