Removal
1 Disconnect the clutch cable from the
release arm on the transmission clutch
housing and from the top of the clutch pedal
with reference to Section 3.
2 Prise the clip from the end of the pedal pivot shaft.
3 On left-hand drive models, withdraw the pivot shaft just enough to allow the clutch pedal to be removed from the bracket. On right-hand drive models, the pivot shaft must first be withdrawn through the brake pedal.
4 Clean the pedal and pivot shaft and examine them for wear. If the bushes are worn they can be removed using a soft metal drift, and the new bushes installed using a vice to press then into position. Check the rubber foot pad and the stop rubber on the bracket, and renew them if necessary.
Refitting
5 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but apply
a little multi-purpose grease to the pivot shaft
and bushes.
