Clutch Pedal
Hey Guys
I have taken the assembly that holds the Brake and Clutch Pedals to clean and repaint them, I was able to get the Brake pedal and it's matching piece on the right side back on however the clutch pedal does not seem to want to go back on. Were these press fit togther or am I doing something wrong. If need be I can take a picture of the parts I am talking about. Gary

Which Truck are you working on
Hi Gary
Which truck are you working on? I'm overhauling my HUP right now and think I know what the problems is. But want to be sure which assembly you are working on before I tell you where to hit it with a hammer. I suspect that the problem is wear on the bushings. Did a complete micrometer measurement job on my assembly to track down the wear and play in the assembly. Probably a couple of pictures will clear up the issue. Cheers Phil

Got the picture
Hi Gary
Thought we were talking about the same issue. Just to confirm it is the clutch peddle that you are having problems with, correct? The brake peddle is a press fit with a clamp bolt along with a key in the shaft. It should be a tight fit. I assume that you have done all this but just to be sure I'll mention them anyway. Key way is clean the wooddrift key is not messed up and the key way and wooddrift key are lined up. Remove the clamp bolt while pushing or tapping the peddle onto the shaft. Now at the clutch end or end of the shaft toward the engine, install the brake linkage lever on and push it flush with the shoulder of the shaft. Did you install a new bushing in the clutch peddle? My clutch peddle has a lot of side slop as the clutch peddle bushing is worn. Thank fully the shaft is not. Even with that wear in the bushing it is a hard push to get the peddle on or off the shaft. I am planning to replace the bushing once the bushing is in place I'll ream the inside of the bushing to be a close fit on to the shaft. The picture below shows the clutch end of the shaft you can see just a little wear in the shaft but the more important thing is that the shaft is round. While the old busing is now egg shaped. If you are reusing the original bushing think about the wear pattern relative to the shaft which would be with both peddles basically in line.

Pedal
Hey Phil
It might be a little dark in my photo's however you will notice in pic 1 and 2 it is the same setup as in your pictures, I have those parts assmbled it is just the part that I believe is the clutch pedal that I can not get back on, it has a bushing inside that I may have damaged as it is starting to come out the other side.

Bigger hammer
Quote:
Clean up both shaft and pedal housing well and lightly lubricate..Then take the shaft part and put it in the freezer.. Go have two beers... By the time you come back get out the shaft hunk and heat the pedal housing ..not to hot..you won't have too..you can have it in a can of boiling water too..but it doesn't have to be that hot..When you put the pedal on the frozen shaft it will slide right on.. I have done it a zillion times as a refrigeration mechanic pulling pulleys..bearings..bearing housings..fans..anything that can rust and stick on a shaft..I'm always used two different temperatures to pull apart and put back together on occasion.

Good tip controled heating
Hi Alex
Good tip for installing ring type parts. Here is a picture of preping to install a ring gear on flywheel using your suggested method. I find that 20 minutes at 350 degrees F works great for ring gears. I have an old oven in the shop for heating parts and making lunch. Cheers Phil

Amazing
I love this site, I shal be forever gratefull to Geoff for having started such a great tool for those of us that are addicted to OD Green (with a smattering of rust).
Alex - Thank you very much I will give that a try and let you know how it comes out. Phil - I appreciate all your input, you are absolutly correct on the damage that I have done to my bushing, fortunatly I have only bent over a tiny piece of it so I should be able to get it straight to proceed with the cold hot procedure. How many are in a gross? I have 2 cmp's to do and if a UC uses them I have 3 of those. Let me know how many are there and how much and maybe I will go halfs with you. Gary
