Clutch Pedal Box Help

[barnoon]

Hi guys,

My clutch pedal box shit itself the other day so I pulled it out and got it welded up and strengthened and put it back in today, now I got it back in ok but I cant for the life of me work out how to get this spring back in (pic attached)

I know where it goes but I cant get it to go in, it just seems impossible, does this spring need to be put on with the pedal box out of the car? because I dont really want to pull it back out.

Also I took the car for a drive and it seems to drive fine so is the spring really needed?

Thanks.

how did you get it out? one of the spot welds from the pedal snapped off so i had to weld it on the spot

but just broke off again late yesterday

i wanna strengthen the whole thing properly. what tools did you use

as for the spring it was very hard to get on.

i used an oxy from work to heat up and bend it in a few millimeters

an that did the trick

it'd be easier to take the bracket out i reckon to put that spring back in. i tig welded mine up the other night in case the spot welds broke
