Removal
1 Remove the lower facia panel from the
driver's footwell, then remove the air duct.
2 On right-hand drive models, remove the
steering column as described in Chapter 10.
On left-hand drive models, it is not necessary
to remove the column, however, the electric
power steering wiring must be disconnected
from it.
3 Where fitted (according to model), remove
the EGR clutch switch from the pedal bracket,
and unclip the wiring harness bracket.
4 Disconnect the return spring from the
clutch pedal, then remove the clip securing
the pedal to the master cylinder piston rod.
Vauxhall technicians use a special tool to do
this, however, the clip may be released using
screwdrivers. Note: Do not remove the ball
head clip at the master cylinder end.
5 Remove the windscreen wiper motor from
the bulkhead as described in Chapter 12.
6 In the engine compartment, unscrew the
pedal support strut bolt from the bulkhead
(behind the wiring harness), then unscrew the
nuts in the driver's footwell and remove the
support strut.
7 Unscrew the two self-locking nuts securing
the clutch master cylinder to the bulkhead.
Discard the nuts and-obtain new ones.
8 Unscrew the three remaining self-locking
nuts, and withdraw the clutch pedal and
bracket from inside the vehicle (see
illustration). Discard the nuts and obtain new
ones. To ~revent anv damage, make sure that
all wiring is moved tb one side.
9 Check the pedal and bracket for excessive
wear and damage. It is not possible to renew the
pedal pivot bushes separately, so if they are
worn, the complete assembly must be renewed.
