February 15, 201115 yr I'm trying to replace my clutch cable in my 88 DL S/R 5spd. The book says I can remove a clamp and then a cotter pin to remove the clevis pin attached to the clutch pedal. Mine is not setup that way. I have a small bracket that attaches to the main pedal mounting rod and then holds the cable in place. The Clevis and pin are lodged in between the bracket and the clutch pedal in a way I cannot remove the clevis without removing the bracket entirely. I removed the two bracket bolts that attach directly to the clutch pedal, but the other end of the bracket is behind the end bolt on the main pedal mounting rod. Do I have to remove the whole clutch pedal to get the clevis out? I will try to post pictures later. Stuck here.
