emac,
I'm close to 10 years older than you and I did one last month. Tie a string to the clutch cable as suggested by others and pull it out rearward. A second hand will be good to pull/pull the cable out from the tunnel. My only problem was wearing a bi-focal eyepiece and have to switch back and forth to my computer eyeglass to see well inside the tunnel.
Please pay attention to Peter Z's advise about the omega spring and clutch lever. To unload the omega spring, push it forward with a pry bar or a large screw driver. And also the amount of thread used by the clevis (by the clutch pedal) is critical. Keep us posted.
Tony
