Went to replace my carpet and to my what did I see? A greasy, rusty pedal cluster. Decided to tackle this one myself with a little help from a friend. Disassembly was not bad at all. Even the roll pin came out easily with the help of an air chisel. Sand blasted all of the parts, etch primed and painted. I let everything dry for a week. Today started assembling everything. Used bronze bushings, but the greatist fun all day was replacing the roll pin. It took a few hours, but we wanted to take our time and get it right the first. Ended up using a press to insert it along with a drill bit (smooth end) inserted on the opposite side to keep everything aligned. In the end it was very gratifying to rebuild. Not as nice as a bstone piece , but it is clean and functional. Greatful for all of the threads in the Garage forum.

The trick to installing the roll pin is the bevel the end that gets inserted. I start them into the lower clutch armwith the shaft hole NOT aligned. Press until it stops. Align to the hole in the shaft. Use an engine tin cheesehead screw to keep the shaft and arm aligned. Using a vise press the roll oin in until it hits the screw. Remove the screw and press the screw in the rest of the way. A rear caliper pin works too for aligning the shaft and arm.
Anyone interested in a video of the rebuild and R & R of the pedal set? @sholman5 |
