ok this is another question
I still have not been able to replace the clutch shaft on my 1955 f100. I am having a guy come over next week and cut it off with a torch. Here is my questions.
1 On the transmission side there is a fitting for a better word that is held on by a roll pin. Also there is a spring connected to it. Does anyone know if they make a reproduction of the fitting and the spring?
2 I really just need the spring because it will be in the way when the guy cuts off the shaft. But I am planning for the worst and hope for the best.
3 once the shaft is cutoff on the trans side it should slide out on the drivers side correct.
4 If the guy cuts it off should I have him super heat the fitting off the shaft to see if i can knock out the pin? Or take it to a machine shop and have them drill it out?
Thanks for any information and help on this. It bites that these small parts are holding me up.

If u cut the shaft before the pin, why bother trying to remove it?

I agree with its not worth it to try and drive out pin. But its like a itch you just gotta scratch. I called midfiftys up and the lady who knows all the stuff is in texas. So I have to call back on Monday. Do you know the name of the fitting at the end of the clutch shaft?

well i finally got the clutch shaft off. i thought the shaft was hardened steel. but it was regular steel. so i cut it off with my trusty sawzall. now i am going to try and knock out the clutch pin. if not i will take to welding shop and have them heat it up and punch out the bolt.
