VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 Removing Clutch pedal pivot shaft 1928

Hi Ho all, just giving my 28 an overhaul after 25 years of use, rebuilt a gearbox and now getting ready to reinstall, but i need to replace the shaft for the brake and clutch pedal, how is it held in to the casting? press fit , may be left hand threaded, one part with the casting? want to be sure i don't butcher something trying to get out out, RAY

Hi Ray,

I believe its a press fit.

Ray

You have to grind of the bolt and remove the bracket from the housing. Use a heavy press (20 ton or more)
Heating my be needed.
Good luck

Thanks Arvid, photos and all ! RAY

Hi Ray
I sell a brake/clutch pedal shaft kit that comes with the tools for removing the old shaft for 26-30 Chevys. This is made by C&P Auto. The old shaft is drilled and threaded. The bolt and the sleeve are used to pull the old shaft out without removing the bracket from the bell housing. The new shaft is then tapped back in to the bracket. The shaft that comes with the kit is made of moly chrome steel and is drilled and tapped for a grease fitting. We also have the replacement bushings.
