Xantia Clutch

Post by dazzawhipple »

How the hell do you replace the plastic clip on the Clutch pedal mine bust
I had a quick look at it last night and I thinks the best thing is to remove the pedal (But the bolt looks like it wont clear the brake pedal) Can someone tell me if I am going the right way???

There are two approaches to getting that bolt out. You can saw the head off the bolt with either a junior hacksaw or a full size hacksaw blade, the downside is that you'll need a new bolt afterwards (or a welder to put the head back on). The second approach is to remove the plastic spring cannister from the underside of the brake pedal, this means the brake pedal should move down far enough for you to get the bolt out past it. After you get the bolt out, put it back in the other way around [;)]

Do a search, there's loads of posts. On some cars cutting it is the only way to get it out.
