I am wanting to adjust the push rod on my clutch pedal because mine releases a little to high for my likings. So I was down there and i was trying to loosen the bolt 12mm i am pretty sure and it wouldnt budge! Which why do I turn it , I know right is tight left is loose but from which way would it be? Do I turn it towards the outside of the car or the inside towards the passenger? Any help on how to loosen this bolt????

 

bump . someone help a noob

 

pg 12-4 in the EG helms manual. sorry i don't have a scanner...

 

yeah thats what I am going by
but I need to know which way to turn the sucker and why it wont budge?

 

um looking at the bolt from behind it turn it left...its really not that hard man lol, if its not budging one direction try the other, its just a little bolt. no need to get crazy on it and break something.

 

but it seems as if the wrench wants to slip off on me, becuase the rod moves with it.

 

hold the rod with a pair of pliers.

 

Get a flare nut wrench.

 

you have to hold the rod with a pair of pliers while you loosen the nut.. back the nut off with the wrench and use the pliers to turn the rod.. the more visible threads that are shown toward the rear of the car it should grab lower... the more visible threads visible toward the firewall grabs higher. When your happy, hold the rod with the pliers so it doesn't spin while your tightening the nut to hold it where you adjusted it..
**Make sure you have enough free play** It could take a bunch of times to get it adjusted the way you want, so leave the pliers/wrench in the car in case you need to adjust it down the road
