Overcenter spring
« on: March 06, 2007 - 03:20:45 PM »
  Anyone have any tricks for getting the overcenter spring onto the clutch pedal?   Is there an easy way to do it or do I need a pry bar?

I forgot to put mine on when I installed the pedals.  I drove a couple of scewdrivers into the spring to stretch it a little and then pulled them out after I installed it.
I may be schizophrenic,
but at least I have each other

 That sounds like a good idea,  I would have never thought of that.  Thanks

If you are using a diaphaim style pressure plate I don't beileve you need the over center spring. I took it out of mine and the pedal feels better. If you have the 3 finger pressure plate you definatly need it.
