I've just pulled the brake and clutch pedal box out so that I can end up the and re-drill the clevis pin holes so there is no slop.

I can't get big pin out. It seems as if the clutch pedal is rusted to it.... As when I move the clutch pedal the pin moves with it.

How can I get this bugger out and can I buy a new one still??

Maybe this will work?

It won't be rusted in, there's bronze bushes in the pedals to prevent this. It will be jammed. You may need a bigger hammer, or apply some heat to the pedals with a pyro bottle or similar.

Hmmmm. Might have to try the bigger hammer approach. It would appear that I've had the entire assy powder coated without pulling the individual pedals off... I'd imagine it must have been jammed all those year ago to, otherwise I would have dismantled it prior to powder coating.

I found I had the same issue when I noticed that when I was depressing the clutch I was operating the brakes as well! It took loads of CRC, elbow work and cursing to get the pin out. Once all cleaned up and reassembled it works fine...

It could be that your clutch or brake master cylinder may have been leaking - they can drip down the pedals and cause things to seize up. I had to dismantle my brake MC because the clevis pin had rusted into place.

My M/C's were leaking. But I have a vague memory the pedals were like this all those years ago when I built the car.

I had to do this not that long ago myself. The main pin was stuck in there proper. BFH, a few choice four letter words and a bit of heat eventually it came out. Just be careful though as mine was that stuck, after a few hits with the hammer and it not moving, I realised that I'd belted it that hard the end of the thread had mushroomed out preventing it from fitting through the hole any more. I took the end off with a grinder (there is a MASSIVE amount of thread here so no dramas with the length) and then I could get it out. I just used some WD40 and Wet and Dry to clean up all the bushes etc, jammed it full of grease and happy days.

Cheers,
Keels.

Im trying to avoid heat as the pedals and box assy are all powder coated......

Ah, I did read that, just didn't think about it.

Have you tried this stuff? http://www.loctite.com.au/3320_AUE_HTML ... 2649931777

I've used it a few times on bolts and such and had pretty good results. It may be able to at least crack the pin away from bushes allowing you to just pull it out or worst case use a press? I'll be honest though, I've never used it on anything that is painted so I can't confirm it wont damage your powder coat but I would imagine it would certainly be better than heat.

Cheers,
Keels.

Bought some of that freeze and release spray.

Got a BFH. Wacked the absolute shiit out of that bolt.

What more can I say, Wanted To Buy: pedal box assy

It's completey rooted. I tried pressing it out and flogging the shiit out of it. The entire side of the housing is fingerd now.

I'll do up a WTB ad.

Not a fan of freeze spray. It neither shrinks, nor loosens gummed up grease. Better on electronics I say.

I had been spraying it with Inox over weekend also.

Try a pair of side cutters. The flat side towards the pin head.

Have you got one of those pyro bottles? They're about 35 bucks, and worth their weight in gold.

Puts bulk heat onto items, and costs little to run.
