Stephen,

Sorry you can't reuse your old pushrod, but you're still trying to do things 
the hard way!

Simply unthread the old pushrod from the old clevis, and thread the new 
pushrod in, in its place.   Then install the master cylinder.   You will have to 
adjust the pushrod length, but if you mark the old one before you remove it, 
then mark the new one, you can get it very close.

You would think that with all your pins frozen, that they wouldn't need 
C-clips.   You'd be wrong.   If you don't replace the C-clips, the pins could 
easily fall out while you're driving, and that's bad.

Removing the the clutch pedal and pedal shaft, which itself requires removing 
the whole pedal assembly, is not the solution.   To do that you would have to 
fully dismantle your brake system as well, which is just an awful lot of 
work, for nothing.

Mike
