I am trying to remove the clutch shaft to replace the brake pedal bushing and am having trouble. Do I take the clutch pedal off or the other end to get it out of the frame? Which ever, I have to do they have a pin in them and which way does it drive out, to the front or rear?

Your question confuses me a bit. Are you replacing the pedal bushing, or the clutch shaft bushings? The clutch pedal operates the shaft thru a link, and is not directly on the shaft. The pedal and clevis are held on by pins with peened ends. When replacing bushings in either the clutch or brake assemblies, it is almost always necessary to replace the shafts, as well, because they are worn. As for removing them from the car, due to the close quarters and interference from the frame. it requires ingenuity and patience to get them out. If your engine clutch housing doesn't have grease fittings for the shaft, you can drill for them. If you put in new bushings anywhere in that system, and it has grease fittings, be sure to drill the new bushings to allow the grease to flow through.

I did not intend this to be confusing. It started out as I wanted to replace the brake pedal bushing on the Clutch Pedal Shaft as the brake pedal has a lot of movement in it. If I have to replace the clutch pedal shaft and bushings, I can do that when I have it all out of the frame. You were right when you said it took patience and inginuity to get it out of the close quarters. I will just drill out the old pin in the clutch pedal and then I can get it all out. Thanks for the info and I can get the parts on order to do the job.
