Default Need some advice on Clutch Spring disassembly
Hi everyone,

I have a '63 Stepside that I'm disassembling. The goal is to clean the rust/dirt/etc, so safety upgrades like disk brakes and move the gas tank to under the frame, etc.

So far, so good; I am almost ready to remove the cab. However, I'm stuck on getting the clutch spring off, the one that is attached to the pedal in the cab. I am unable to strong-arm it with pliers or anything else. I'm guessing there is either a trick that I don't know (quite likely) or a tool I need to use, or both.

Can anyone give me a clue on how to get this spring off?

Many thanks,

John
