How to remove diesel clutch pedal
How does the clutch pedal come off on a CDT/CDTI?
Read the Haynes manual and am still a bit unsure. Can it be removed by itself or do all 3 pedals have to be removed? thank you macafee2 |

Apologies Ian, but not really a thread hijack. Does anyone know what makes the pedal harder to press on the diesel? I know the pedal return spring (if it is used to return the pedal) is substantial, would a lighter spring make things easier?

A worn clutch plate can cause the pedal to feel harder to push down.
All the return spring does is hold the weight of the pedal off the master cylinder when you haven't got your foot on it, so I can't see a different spring improving things. If you want to try it release the spring and see how the pedal feels without it. |

Rover 75 CDTI Tourer clutch master cylinder removal tool" A cut down and ground down allan key to fit in the 1/4 square hole of an 8mm socket. Selotaped the two together and slid the ring end of an 8mm spanner over the allan key. This allows me to locate the socket on the bolt and undo it. It's only a removal tool, heaven knows how I'll refit it and this task is best done by a gymnast. Bent all ways, not a good idea at my age macafee2 |

take the pedal off, i found it makes a huge difference when replacing the master
just make sure the rod doesnt slide through when replacing the pedal, otherwise you'll spend ages wondering why you cant get the clip back on ......... not that i would do anything like that |
