Clutch Pedal Spring
How do you put the spring back in? With my new clutch setup my pedal is really hard to push in. Its hard enough that its messing up my shifting speeds, so Im gonna try the spring again.

And you're not pushing the dead pedal, right?

Hook the spring on the left eyehole first and back of the pedal bar area it rests in, then push the pedal in and using needlenose pliers grab the right side of the spring and guide it in the right side hole, its failry easy.

You make it sound easy. Mine has been fighting me to the end.

Then I got back under and figured there must be an easier way and it went right on as explained above. The trick was getting the middle of the spring centered in the recess on the back of the pedal bar, then hooking the left side first, THEN pushing pedal in with a long driver with left hand while needlenose pliering the right side of spring in.
ummm yea I think thats how I did it.
