Clevis Pin Fun
Just wondering if anyone else has had as much fun as I've had with their clevis pin on the clutch cable.
I really think you need to be a midget to work on some of this stuff. Between trying to get my hands in there and applying presure on the clutch pedal with my head to keep the hole lined up I felt like I was in a dang circus act. This one makes changing the left front hood shock seem like a piece of cake.

good thing these early cars are so easy to work on...that's what I love about them. Everything is so accessible.
Imagine doing the same work on a 2002 model.

I had exactly the same impression - my son wondered what some of the 4-letter words actually meant...
 Then I found out how much more difficult it is to get to if the transmission end of the clutch cable is still hooked up. All I wanted to do was daub a bit of grease on the clevis pin. My neck was sore for a week from using my head to (try to) depress the clutch pedal - and no, I never actually succeeded. That's just one more thing I like about this car - I know exactly what project to tackle if I'm in the mood to be pissed off.
