Is this right - With the lever held out with the pry bar is when you adjust the lever stop screw (the 7/16" one ) to give a 0.050" clearance ?

Loosen the 2 nuts off,,, then pull the lever out all the way (manually) as in physically lever it out with a pipe or a pry bar or some such ,,,until it stops,,, don`t keep pulling it any more tho
If you simply try to use the clutch peddle & the std hydraulics system to push the lever out,,, well it "Usually" won`t move the lever far enough ,,, you need to do it manually. (if you get my drift)
then wind the first nut up till it butts on the case,,, then release the lever,,, then do that first nut up "one-More-Flat",,,, then lock the lock nut against it, nice & tight,,, scissor action with 2 spanners is always best for this ,,, But---> grind down a 15/16ths spanner nice & thin to make sure you don`t fool yourself with the lock nuts
a std width spanner is usually too thick & will fool you into "Thinking" you have locked the 2 nuts together properly,,, a "Thinned" down spanner will fit nice without interference with the other lock nut
job done,,, & if any more people try to tell me that these nuts always come loose,,,, or that you don`t need them,,, or whatever,,, then my brain will explode all over your next 500 meals,,, breakfast lunch & dinners,,, even deserts,,, so there!!!!!!

IF the flywheel has been lightened, the above backyard mechanic method is all BS- because the 3 brass stops on the diaphragm now have nothing to push against (flywheel is .200" away), you will overstroke the spring.
Do what the book says instead- screw em both back out of the way, adjust the little screw until gap is .020", check freeplay at pedal is about 20mm or so (pedal up).
Go drive it, if it feels right THEN (if you are feeling unlucky), screw the stop screws to the cover and lock em, while someone holds the pedal right down.
