If you converted to a diaphragm clutch you need to remove the big over center spring that is attached to the clutch pedal

The safest way is to get a stack of nickels or thick washers. Take a flat head screw driver and spread one row on the spring. Insert a washer. Do the same front and back of every spring coil. That will spread the spring enough to un hook it,
