    remove the brake pedal by undoing the nut on the pedal rod and sliding the rod out. then lift up on the silver part and the pedal should drop right out. also remove the drivers side vent and pull the padding behind it back. this will need to be done to drill two holes for the clutch pedal bracket.

    to make the installation of the over center spring easier, put the short hook end in a vice and lock it down. take washers and install them in the spring as shown. make sure you leave enough room to get a screwdriver or pliers in them to remove the washers after the spring is in. i believe that we ended up using 8 or 9 washers.

    ***CAUTION***

    That is one tough M F'n spring.
