Hi All,
Just received a replacement clutch pedal helper spring for my '87 E30 5 speed. I tried searching for a DIY , but can't find anything related to this topic. Any tips/tricks to successfully install?
From what I can tell, the bottom of the helper spring attaches to a notch in the pedal bracket. I was able to get this in the groove, but the eye bolt on the other end doesn't line up with the pedal bracket (too long). My thoughts are that I need to unbolt the M/C top nut attached to the pedal and push the clutch pedal towards the back of the car until the eyebolt aligns for the helper spring? From here, finish installing the helper spring then push the clutch pedal down towards the floor and then re-install the MC nut? Does that sound correct?
Also, how compressed should the spring be before install? The new part came in loose and I tightened it down to just "snug".
Thanks for the help!
