Default Removing clutch slave cylinder

Okay so i dropped my trans for the first time to replce the slave cylinder (its internal). When i first looked at where it was bolted in i thought it was a allen bolt. I went to take it off but i dont think its an allen. How do i get this bolt off?

It's most likely a torx. Jeep likes to put them in random places to keep you on your toes

Its a roll pin with a push clip. Spray brake cleaner where the pin is to clean it off and you'll know for sure what it is
