Alright...I feel like a dumbass right about now... This is probably one of those "If you have to ask..." questions but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to (without f***ing it up of course) get this damned pedal assembly off of my 53 F250 frame... The master cylinder has been removed and I have really good access to the whole thing...it looks like if I can get the clutch pedal off the whole thing will slide nicely out...but that is the problem...I cannot get the clutch pedal off...(no, I am not talking about the pedal pad, the whole metal arm...) Maybe there is rust over something, maybe a piece of dirt is hiding it, maybe I am a dumbass, or maybe it is time to bust out the BFH...idk...
The clutch pedal is pinned to the clutch shaft by either a straight shank pin from front to back (look for the head on the pedal knuckle), or a tapered pin from top to bottom with a nut/washer on the bottom. Knock these pins out and the clutch pedal will slide off the shaft. The clucth release arm is held to the other end of the shaft the same way.
