So, while waiting for paint to dry, I figured I'd start rebuilding my pedal cluster. It needs it.
I have most of the stuff off, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to: a ) remove the springs to the brake and clutch pedal return b ) remove the actual brake and clutch pedals How is it done? Is there a special tool used that I don't have? I tried beer, but that not helping as much as it usually does. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Zach |

You need to buy a MAPP torch because you have a 914 not because you need to get your clutch pedal off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
MAPP would be best. It is difficult if not impossible to heat one and not the other (you'll see what I mean). What heat does is snap the bond that lies between the two metals making it easier to get them apart (sometimes). A MAPP torch is the best $40 you will spend on tools. "ANY" time you're looking at a rusty bolt or nut and you're afraid you might strip a head etc.; MAPP it and use the proper tools... you and your car will be happier. |
