New clutch master cylinder not disengaging

I did a search a few times and all I came away with on how to fix it is pop the arm off the splined shaft and rotate it. I did finally get the lock nut off and been prying and cussing it for 2 days now. It is beginning to look like will have to drop the front dash out and drop steering column and then will be a pain as is no room.

Anyone have a better solution? As it is now there is at least 2 1/2 inches of free travel on the peddle before any resistance. Do they make an after market rod that is adjustable? The cylinder came from carquest and it is on a 91 F250 with a 7.3 and 5 speed 4X4 extended cab.

i don't quite understand what you are trying to do.
are you trying to adjust the master cylinder pushrod?
if so, it is done on the master cylinder side, not the pedal side.
remove the master and there is an adjustment on the rod. you want to have rite around 1/8 inch between the master and rod with the master installed.

From the Hanes manual they said the clutch pivot was on a splined shaft and to adjust you need to remove and rotate. The shaft had no adjustment that I could see.

hanes manuals are useless.
they have more mistakes and flat out wrong info in them than they have good info.
