Lately when driving the car seems as if my feet are hitting each other when on the clutch and brake at the same time... funny my feet are not that big lol. I've attached a pic of what i found this morning when i went looking at the pedal assy. so my question is .... if i clip the bailing wire that the po put on there can i just slip the pedal off and clean it up find the right size roll pin and put it all back together or will i need to pull the whole assy? Was planning on re building it this coming winter, just want to drive the pumpkin now that it is nice out side.
thanks |

Grab the solid end of the cable at the transmission end with a pair of vise-grips. That will allow you to pull the cable against the pedal spring so you can get it to where you can get the (crap, the word escapes me!) fulcrum thing up onto the throwout lever.
The vise-grips are also useful to keep the cable from twisting while you're trying to tighten or loosen the adjusting nuts. The plural there is very deliberate--I always double-nut the cable, because I have had single Nyloc nuts back off and mess up my clutch engagement. --DD |
