clutch pedal replacement question...

[lotus]

The truck I have originally was a manual shift setup. Previous owner cut off the clutch pedal a ways up. It appears that everything is there. On the motor side there is an arm with a coder pin hole.

My question is how hard is it to replace the clutch pedal? Would it be easier to replace the cut off clutch pedal or cut a new clutch pedal to fit and weld it back together?

Thanks,
Mike

It's easier to replace the cut off pedal with an undamaged original. Just pull the return spring and the bolt indicated in the diagram below, remove the lever on the passenger side of the steering column, and the pivot shaft and clutch pedal will slide out of the mounting tube toward the driver side kick panel. Be careful not to lose the plastic bushings the pivot shaft rides on (item number 4 in the drawing).

how do you get that big spring off and back on?
