When unbearing the clutch parts, then first of all, it is necessary to unscrew the retracting spring from the clutch release lever on mechanical linkage systems. Then pull the upper retaining pin, to release the clutch rod from the pedal cross-shaft lever. For hydraulic systems, while giving due attention give a gentle pry to the clutch master cylinder pushrod and retainer bushing from the pedal cross-shaft lever pin. One must temporarily tack the spring coil underneath the dash so that it will not stretch too much. Depress the three support pegs move the marked position of the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and remove the spring. Next, remove the locknut that is used in fastening the clutch cross-shaft lever at the clutch pedal cross-shaft then take off the lever. If fitted, then, you should take out the starter interlock switch from the clutch pedal housing. Subsequent to this, it is necessary to unbolt the clutch assembly from the clutch pedal cross-shaft and to release the clutch pedal. Remove the clutch pedal cross-shaft from the bushings; see that the brake pedal also uses this cross-shaft and will be flapping loosely now. If, for some reason, it is necessary to remove the brake pedal, disconnect the clutch-like master cylinder pushrod retainer from the pedal pin, and, if present, remove the brake operation switch located on the pedal, and then retrieve the brake pedal. In case of their wear, it is necessary to replace the right-and left hand clutch cross-shaft bushings. To install it, one needs to reverse the procedure of its removal; all bushings and pivot points need to be lubricated with multi-purpose grease. When fitting a new assist spring install it in a vise and take some wire to hold it compressed so that there is the desired length, but make sure that it is not compressed fully because this is bad for it and it makes the clutch pedal to be harder. After that, check the clutch linkage and make an adjustment if required, check the operation of the pedal mounted starter lock, if provided.
