I found inserting the clevis pin with the split pin hole facing the passenger side was a lot easier, but then its a LOT harder to get the split pin in.

Its times like these you wish you'd bought a Matic? :lol:

Split pin ??????

Are you talking about the "R" shaped pin that is in there originally.

The whole thing is a pain but the "R" is not that difficult and once it clips over the clevis pin its in without further fiddling.

Just be very sure that the clevis pin it through all the holes. That is the clutch and the eye in the master cylinder.
