I wanted to change the bushings and seals on the pivot assembly for the clutch and brake pedals on my '60.

I have everything stripped down to the pins that everything pivots on. These go through the "frame" and I can't figure out how to get them out.

Do these press out? Or twist? I could use some advice.

Thanks

I meant "degunkatize" in the above post...soryy

I liked it the first way. Thought that was a term for "remove the guano."

I believe if you degunaitize both ends of the pivot that goes thru the frame you will find a snapring at each end. Get those out of the way and the rest is easy. Have fun!!

I knew there was a trick to this! Although my car has had an automatic transmission for 14 years now, the clutch pedal still lurks beneath the carpet!

I was thinking to digging it out and attaching it to the brake pedal. It would look like it had a clutch, but I'd end up with a lot better chance of finding the brakes with my numb feets!

Did I mention that I bought a very nice chromed stock shifter lever? The B&M shifter on the car now has such a short lever that I have to unfasten my seatbelt to get the car into/out of Reverse or Park. I can combine the linkages of the B&M with the Volvo lever and look fairly stock. And I'll be able to shift without putting my head under the dash!

I rebult a 544 about 10 years ago. I remeber that removing the shaft was a challange. As I remeber there is a hole all the way through it. With some threaded rod and spacers most likely some pipe nipples, then heating and cold water it finaly came out.
