Clutch spring removal
 
Has anyone removed the spring on the clutch pedal. Its there to make the clutch easier to depress. I dont like the feel and would like to remove it or put in a weaker spring.The LHD guys in the US say you can do it in 15 minutes.Not in a RHD car. HELP Sandy in Nelson NZ

I can't imagine it beings that much different from LHD to RHD, but then again I've never been in a RHD 86.

Spent an hour under there . Its all on the wrong side.You can see the spring but cant get to it. May have to remove the complete pedal from the fire wall??

It can be done no real problem, it's not as easy as LHD drive looks to be but definitely do-able, start with removing actuating from pedal by taking the pin from the clevis, this gives you a bit more room to move.
Push the rod from the spring, it's tight but can be done, then lever the spring out.
I totally recommend this mod, best thing I've done.

Not being a quitter I had another go at it.My back will be better in a few days. I got my 100 k body in far enough to see the clip.Pulling it out would have to be done with your left hand . I am right handed and cant scratch my ass with my left hand. Guess I will be looking for a small left handed wrench operator. Cheers Sandy
