The previous owner of my '53 swapped in a 302 and a C4. They did not remove the old clutch lever/assembly. I am trying to figure out how to remove it, but can't seem to figure it out. The clutch lever exits the floorboard and connects to a shaft on the outer part of the frame, this shaft then goes through the frame, then the brake lever connects, then there is the clutch linkage bracket. I want to remove the clutch lever and the bracket, but how? Thanks in advance for all the help...this board has been great!

 

Skakerteam,
Thee is a bolt on the outside of the frame that holds the shaft in, take this bolt out and the shaft can be driven out through the inside of the frame. I cut my clutch pedal about two inches from the shaft and used it to twist and pull the shaft out.

Thanks for the reply I will give it another shot today.

 

One other option if you've got brake pedal to steering column clearance problems.I have a booster/master mounted to the frame and a column out of a 78 LTD II.I have a pretty big hoof so I took out the brake pedal and adapted the clutch pedal and shaft to run the brakes.
