Has anyone removed this piece from under their dash? Is there something other than the nut I see? It seems to tight for rust and just wanted to check in before I started beating on it too much.

I am trying to make my clutch linkage like new so it will work right.

 

The clutch linkage itself has zero nuts on it aside from the adjusting nut down under. The rod which goes through the floor and attaches to the equalizer shaft is held on either end by a cotter key or spring clip. There should be bushings on both ends of the relay rod. Their basic part number is 7526. The pedal itself is held on by a washer, a nut and a cotter key. the shaft thats attached to the clutch pedal is what the brake pedal rides on as well...the pedals are both bushed by a 2474 bushing...its a bit hard to tell if each truck uses 3 or 4 of these bushings in the clutch/brake pedal assembly. The bushings on the equalizer shaft are 7543's if you are going to replace those too.

But to remove the bracket you show you just need to remove the cotter pin, nut and washer and it should wiggle off as its most likely a keyed hole to keep it from moving around. This particular part is a 65/66 F100/250 2WD only part...C5TZ7A554A.

What are these bushing numbers you're giving? FoMoCo bushings are NLA.

 

The bushings he mentions are the ones that go on the top and bottom of the shaft that goes through the floor. Mine were gone for some time, and that is why the picture I posted looks like an oval and not a round hole.

I looked for the C5TZ-7A554-A, and no one seems to have one, so I will take it off and take it to some Fab guys I know and get them to reman one for me.

 

"Squire" Don didn't list any bushing part numbers (because he knows better!), just the basic part numbers. And, not all are NLA (No Longer Available-Obsolete).

C0AZ-7526-B (replaced C0AZ-7526-A) .. Clutch Relay Rod Nylon Bushing / Obsolete

Applications: 1961/72 F100/750 / 1966/77 Bronco / 1973/77 F100/350 / 1973/79 F500/800 / 1978 F100/350 & Bronco before serial number BA0,001 / Myriad 1960/70's Passenger Cars.

1,054 (!!) are available NOS from Ford Dealers/obsolete parts vendors and repro parts sellers have them as well.

When these bushings "go away" the 90 degree ends of the rod begin to bend, eventually snap off, not pleasant! The rod is obsolete...almost as hard to find NOS as Jimmy Hoffa.

2) C1AA-7543-A .. Equalizer Bar Nylon Bushing / Available from Ford.

The Memphis TN Ford parts depot has 375 of the little darlin's, another 1,778 (!!) are available from Ford Dealers/obsolete parts vendors and repop sellers also have them.

MSRP each: $5.15 // FTE sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price each: $3.71.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
With a M/T, there are 2 nylon bushings that ride on the clutch pedals shaft, 2 more fit into the brake pedal that rides on the clutch pedals shaft.

If a 2WD, there are only 2 .. fit into the brake pedal / NOTE: Don listed basic part # 2474 because that's what the catalog pic (Illustration Section 75, page 25) shows, but that's the wrong number.

There are two types of these bushings and the parts catalog applications are very fuzzy, making them a b!tch to look up.

Compare what you have with the following:

B7C-2461-A .. Brake/Clutch Pedal Nylon Bushing-15/16" long / Available from Ford.

MSRP each: $2.50 // FTE sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price each: $1.80.

The master cylinder (P/B booster) push rod attaches to the brake pedal with a thru bolt, uses 1 nylon bushing.

C1TT-2A309-A / Obsolete

26 available NOS from Ford Dealers/obsolete parts vendors.

 

Bum,

I had this in my album. Maybe it'll help clear up parts locations:

 

Thanks for all the help. I got the thing off with a tie rod tool. It is being remanufactured. Hopefully, when all of this is done, I can drive the truck for a few weeks with out issues.
