The shaft on my clutch linkage where the nylon bushing is, is badly worn. I purchased a new arm. The hole in the arm where it attaches to the rod from the pedal is smooth. I have not remove the old arm yet. Is it serated? Is the arm smooth by design so you can position it as needed?

Has anyone done this repalcement.

I do know that I am going to drill a hole for a cotter pin. That way, the bushing will not move around and wear out early, also it will help stop the wear.

 

ive got the hiem joint replacement on my trucks and i love it no more plastic bushing to wear out.

Sure wish I'd seen this before I spent all that time fixing mine at the beginning of the summer. That's a great item, barebackjake, thanks for bringing it to our attention! That is just awesome.

 

My problem is that the Pin that the heim attaches to is too worn. That is why I bought the repalcement are.

By drilling a cotter pin hole, it will eliminate the movement that causes the bushing to wear rapidly. Wish Ford still made the replacement bronze bushing.
