Help needed - Clutch helper spring
 

In trying to replace my clutch helper spring so that my wife can drive the car while I'm gone (deploying to Kandahar in two weeks), I'm a bit stuck.

Pulled the old broken spring off, reassembled the arm, and everything appears ok . But, in the process of reassembly I've got a few problems:

- the clutch pedal was depressed, and now is flat on the floor;
- the new spring is physically larger than the older, and I cannot get it to seat, so cannot get the arm back into its seemingly correct position;
- I'm not sure if, once the arm is seated, if the clutch itself will function....

Basically, I'm stumped, and could used some "real time" help!

Here's a pic of where I am - Thanks!

You seem to have the spring on wrong, flip it over. Here is a pic of the correct setup.

A few extra details for adjusting.

Ahhhh, thank you. I'll flip it tomorrow morning - much appreciated!

Make sure the spring is against the heat exchanger, when flipped, it will also go in another position which you can rectify with a large screwdriver.

Magic. Thank you gentlemen.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1317568449.jpg
