clutch spring pedal assembly

[iwantspeed]

Hey guys my clutch master cylinder is leaking
I bought all of the items to replace it
It looks like the clutch spring is not where its suppose to be, and it was rubbing on the blue hose that gets connected to the clutch master cylinder. It caused it to rub soo much that it tore through that line and now im wondering where is the correct location for the spring.

I have a 87 325e and it was originally a 5 speed so we are not dealing with a 5 speed trans swap.

It looks like the grove down the center on the back of the spring fits perfectly into the recessed groove on the pedal assembly.

It also looks like there could be some sort of bolt holding it in place because there is a hole in the pedal assembly as well as on the spring.

Does the third picture look like that is where its suppose to go?
bolt or no bolt holding that spring in place?

I'm a tech, I know. But why would you post the same thread twice?

FFS, this is why R3v is so fucking annoying sometimes. His DD is broke, he don't know how to fix it, he wants an experienced mind to help him out so he can go to work and whatnot. He is at your mercy and you're acting like that cop that hung up on the girl when her pop was having a seizure. Grow up and help the guy out if you know the answer. Otherwise, can it.

I just checked the Bentley and Realoem for any answers and didn't find anything conclusive. Good luck getting someone besides this asshole to show up.

There will not be a bolt holding that return spring in place. It sits just like that in the groove.

Dont get frustrated when you are pumping up the slave cylinder. The pedal will go to the floor and stay there, causing you to think something is wrong with the linkage. That assembly is a bit strange, but you'll get it. Just pump the pedal up by hand to get it off the floor and it should seat itself in the right position.

r3v's crap filter in the works. razz the noob a little bit to get them frustrated and provide some info.

thanks beach bum
I checked my bentley and it didn't help much
real oem you can't really see what the back of the spring fits into or gets bolted too.

I have never seen the spring in the correct oem position so I just wanted to make sure i put back together correctly.

thanks for the straight up answer.

It is pretty strange With the spring just resting in those groves, the pedal is very high compared to the brake pedal

hopefully when I attach the linkage on the clutch master cylinder the pedal travel will return to normal.

Was that to hard?
thanks
double post because I needed a quick answer. I hope I can finish this up today

in general discussion this thread got 88 views

Good to see you got it cleared up.

When someone makes a post about their DD being down, cut the shit. If someone is asking inane questions about a fictional turbo setup, blast away. r3v's crap filter is effective, but sometimes it needs to be bypassed.
