clutch pedal

The bracket broke the weld on clutch pedal 69 amx how do you get pedal off, does it slip in or bolted on. It looks like a shaft on it but no bolt hole

The bracket that is spot welded to clutch pedal holds the spring an rod to pedal. Sure hope easy to get to. Going to try put pic of pedal an braket.

Just the pedals themselves will come out of the bracket even with the bracket in the car. It's not difficult at all. Like fuzzface2 said, just remove the snap rings, or there may be a retainer bolt, depending on which year, slide the shaft out and the pedals drop. Don't forget to get replacement bushings for the shaft. Available at most AMC parts vendors and possibly elsewhere too.

Just to let you know my first 4 speed jav had all a/t so when bracket broke look under dash an I do not know where any thing goes. So the more pics the better. Thanks.

Yea, That is called the overcenter spring used on V-8 cars.
Diaphragm pressure plates don't need it. My Rambler does not have anything at all.

It's all 6 cyl linkage and I can't remeber if there is a place for one or not? Mine is running the 10.9" Big assed clutch and old school pressure plate and it does not bother me at all.

What I'm saying is two fold.
if you can't get it back in there it will probably be fine.
If you do get it back in there, be very careful, when the pedal goes down half way it goes over center and slams the pedal to the floor! If you have your fingers under the pedal when it does that you will teach any neighborhood kids a choice bunch of new words! So be careful.

EDIT: I build a Fraud,er,Ford Maverick in high school and went from an automatic to stick. When I pulled the clutch out of the junkyard car it about took my fingers out and I never could get it back in when I put it in my car. I wonder how it does go back in?
