Using A Pair Of Long Nosed Pliers To Rotate The Clevis Pin

Access to the clevis pin is normally thought to be achieved ONLY by lying on your

back in the passenger compartment looking up underneath the steering wheel area. This NEW method to remove and replace the clevis pin may turn out to be a lot easier.

Firstly, if you can, purchase some suitable stainless steel clevis pins, washers and P clips to replace the mild steel clevis and split pin items which can suffer corrosion.

Secondly remove the drivers seat and use the rear seat cushion as a mattress to lie down on in the car! I have found diagonally to the the most comfortable.

Drain the brake or clutch sytstem and unfasten any hydraulic or brake pipes connected to the master cylinder.

You need access to directly underneath the master cylinder (from the engine bay) so it might be easier to take the bonnet off?

Place a weight on the brake or clutch pedal depressing it full stroke.

Undo the two nuts holding the master cylinder.

The master cylindr can now be lifted away from the bulkhead. LOOK DOWN THE HOLE! clevis pin!

Using a pair of long nosed pliers to rotate the clevis pin to:

FIRST straighten out the folded over ends of the split pin (long nosed plyers)

SECOND pull out the split pin ( plyers or using the circlip plyer end in the eye of the split pin)

THIRD push the clevis pin out of the hole it is sitting in BINGO! you have a master cylinder in your hand.

CLEVIS PIN in hand push the clevis into the right hand side of the fork, apply a little pressure to it.

THEN move the pedal gently up and down, the clevis pin will plop into place, push it home.

NOW undo the 2 nuts holding the cylinder down and pull it up.

The spring of the pedal will keep everything in tension to stop the clevis pin dropping out when.

Using the long nose plyers, you insert the washer and split pin ( or P clip) on the end of the pin

I HAVE TRIED to get the clevis IN via the hole at the top and there is not enough space both to hold, rotate and SEE what is needed, it is relatively EASY to get the pin in place from the passenger compartment side.

If the clevis pin falls into the hole under the master cylinder it will either be in the access cavity or behind the soundproofing in the driver side foot well!
