The clutch pedal on my '74 2.0 is too close to me. I want to adjust it forward but cannot budge the shaft. I have loosened the retaining nut but I cannot spin the shaft forward. There is plenty of threads to make an adjustment but it will not turn. I cannot get a good grip on the shaft with any tool because it is round and I don't want to grab the pedal shoe for fear of breaking it off. Tried PB Blaster, but no effect. How the hell do I get this thing loose??? Ideas appreciated.

@Ansbacher


You may need to remove the pedal set to break loose the clutch pedal. I clamp them in a vise so the jaws go both above and below the bend. I then rock the pedal set to break it loose.
You are only going to get about 1" more distance.
You could make a custom pedal by cutting out a section of the shaft.
I can supply a clutch pedal if you go that route.
