Seized clutch pedal

Recommended Posts

Guest 88vic

Any suggestions or previous experience of freeing up clutch pedals on the 3/4 inch rods ?   Other than heat and penetrating oil. Really stuck on there. Thinking of cutting them off but dont really want to.

Got a stick welder?

Clamp a piece of scrap metal to the round bar.

Put the ground clamp on the pedal.

Crank it up and run a few beads on the scrap metal.

The current running through the rust will heat it up and should blow the rust out.

Lots of heat! I use a small torch used for 

sweating copper pipes. Use map gas

I've had good luck gooping open ends with anti-seize and heating the work piece until the anti-seize runs in.

 

Usually a butane torch is enough heat for that to work.

Be interesting to hear how Gary's idea works.

Just freed up one on my C85 95 105 hybrid build...

 

Used pb blaster, heat, time...tap back and forth...repeat...

 

There is also a small hole on my pedal where it attaches to (around) the 3/4 rod...goes through to the rod...I liberally applied pb blaster in that as well and it soaked in and through...
