guys need some help, i changed the pedal out and found the spring a piece a cake to refit with a few cable ties, having big issues with the whit clip tho.
i broke the old one when it all snapped, i took the new one out the new pedal as i couldnt get the master cylinder arm back into it while the clip was in the pedal still. so i tried putting it on the cylinder arm first to then pop into pedal once fitted but i cant compress the cylinder enough by hand to pop the clip into the pedal where it needs to be.
how the hell do i get the clip onto the cylinder arm then back into the pedal???????????

frustrated as i got it all sorted apart from this last little bit, and i cant drive the car until i figure this out

It is a bit of a faff, i used the cable tie method and it worked ok for me. What i did was wiggle the spring so it was roughly where its supposed to be, depress the clutch pedal and lined it up with where its supposed to be on the back of the pedal. I then let go of the pedal and checked to see if the other end was in its cubby hole. If it isnt, its just a case of depressing the brake pedal again and wiggling it about until it finally slots in

Could anyone confirm why yhe clip on the right hand of the brake pedal needs to be removed ? As i managed to get my clutch pedal off without removing the right clip, just wandering if this would have made life easier

Thanks
Tom

The white clip only needs to be replaced if you remove the brake pedal, it does go through the hole on in the pedalbox.
Though I suspect that by the time some people get to that part they see the clip as an easy item to replace and the pedal is out of the way for the re-installation.
