One has to be careful with this approach. The stock slave cylinder bore is 
quite short and its entirely possible to increase the piston's travel enough 
to allow the piston to come out and cock in the bore, thus disengaging the 
engine. Since the stuck piston is inside the stretchy boot, some owners 
might not realize what happened.Tow-truck time! Good luck- J Deryke
