Ford Clutch Pedal Fix, Bushing Eliminator 1987-1997 F150, F250, F350, F450, F550, Bronco 

Thank you so much man for that trick with the pen sleeve to remove the old push rod. I watched about 50 videos asked mechanics all over and no one gave me straight answers as to how to get the push rod out. They said you don't remove it. I said if that's so how come they sell you the whole unit switch plus new push rod? I find people these days are knowlegeless and don't care about helping out their fellow man. I am 71 and have had a slew of cars and worked on all of them mainly because I didn't have money to repair them. So, I thank you so much man you're a true American and benevolent person. God bless you man. This is the best video on youtube bar none on this subject.

Great video, right to the point. The pen trick to remove the rod is what I needed. Thanks

My clutch is held together with zip ties right now 😂 I'll be doing this tomorrow. Thanks for the video.

Freaking outstanding dude! Went through 4 nylon bushings, stranded in the worst times/places. Time to fix it for good.

Excellent video,my man. Concise,no b.s.,exactly whats needed for the home mechanic with no patience and busted knuckles.

I've never seen anyone organize their wrenches by actual size, rather than one set of metric and one set of SAE. Interesting. Thanks for the video!

My 89 f150 has been towed to house and sitting for 2 months at least. I assumed I needed New throw out bearing and clutch. Because I can pump pedal with my hand quickly and build up just enough pressure to get in and out of gear to push it around the driveway. If I have to move it. I came across this video 2am in morning doing research on how to replace clutch and everything. I'm gonna check this first in the morning. Even if this is not a fix for me I really appreciate that you took the time to make this video. Very clear and to the point. Thank you much..

Awesome vid. My 1997 f350 crew cab will grind reverse every time. I seen this video so I decided to look at that bushing and the previous owner had it wired up

Best video out there they should use this video as a link that comes with the part

Thanks for mentioning how to fix it bottoming out on the neutral safety switch

great job. never would have thought of the sleeve to remove clips

you did a good job on your video, i have had two trucks where the plastic clip broke, i just used a 3/8" heim joint and a 3/8" NF bolt and nut to fix it, i don't want the neutral safety switch, i like to be able to move my trucks with the starter if i need to, and over my 61 years i have done it countless times.

Nice video. My truck is down right now because of this. Doing my research so I can do it myself.

You did just fine with a "HOW TO" video man! You just helped me out! I'm having the same issue you was! I have a 1994 Ford F150 .302. My plastic clip BS keeps coming off, just again today, and I just replaced a new plastic piece from Oreily's. So.. I will have to do the same thing as you, maybe not with the same materials, but using a bolt and some other parts, now I know how it all comes apart! Thx :)

Mine just snapped tonight 500 miles into a 1100 mile trip. Got it towed to a shop. Now I can tell them what it is maybe and get rolling in the morning.

Thank you for this. Very informative!

Good clear video and narrative. Thank You

Great job...much appreciated. Thank you

Excellent job on this video

Great video. I'm subscribing because of the perfect camera work. Thanks for showing everything so well.

You did great hope to view many more helpful vids in the future

Hi, thanks for the info. What kind of BALL POINT PEN did you use for the removal of the push rod from the clutch cylinder? it looks like a bic pen. I need to change my whole pedal assembly and I thought I might do this fix while its apart.

Clearly a solid permanent solution that should be implemented. Another that has served me is to cut the four nubs off of the plastic grommet, put it on reversed (slick side out), mark & drill a hole through the post holding the M/C shaft, and put a cotter pin through it. This assumes the post is not worn beyond your ability to drill a small hole. The shaft rides smoothly against the cotter pin due to the reversed plastic grommet.

Very stout looking repair, I’d imagine it’ll outlast the rest of the truck. Just happened to me, so I’m gonna have to go ahead and do the same thing

Great tutorial on this issue details are great.

I love these videos. Takes my mind off this stupid virus 🦠

Great video bud. Thanks for doing the leg work.

Great video! I am currently broke down in my driveway truck torn apart and to the point I’m trying to get the swing arm off. Any advice on how to pull this part off ?

Sweet information.

Excellent video! Thanks

I had the same problem, like the video

That's awsome but where to get and part #'s do help us out greatly. Please include.

So who has that rod end piece for sale?

Good Fix! What size Allen bolt and Heim joint did you use? Gotta do this to my '96 F150 4X4.

Excellent video, thank you!

My only comment would be that you should have put the Bolt in the other direction and the nut on the inside location. I would also have used a Nylock Nut ( No Need for Loctite and removable if necessary.

might have to do this to my '97 f250 HD. I barely made it home. Whats the part number of this heim joint? Thanks

Why is my master cylinder rod plastic and everyone else’s it seems are metal? Anyone know? Do I need to get an all metal one to do this fix?

part?? location ? where do I purchase them? Where can I get the repair parts for my 1996 F150?

Where did you find that particular heim joint I have a similar issue and cannot find that one

Where can I get repair parts for my 1995 F150? I found the heim joint repair kit at Advance Auto Parts, from having the kit number, and manufacturers information I thought I got from one of your videos, that in the links gave contact info to where you purchase parts from. I just can't find the video of who had that list, or who posted it. With all the great content you post, I thought it was your channel.

How did you get the arm off of the shaft? I tried prying it off with a screwdriver after removing the nut and it wouldn't budge.

Thanks good vídeo

excelente video

Great tip.

Why can't you just drill a hole through the shaft and put a cotter pin in it to keep the rod bushing from popping off?

What size is the heim joint and the Allen bolt ??

Mine the rod is made out of plastic and that’s what broke we’re did you get the medal one from?

Its possible that the nut and lock washer goes on the bracket side not on the heim side then you wouldn't need a flat washer.

Does the push rod just slide right back into place, or do you need the pen tube too reinstall it as well?

How did you remove the swing arm?

Hi...bro what do you find your tied fit ,i Need some one????

How do you get that swing arm off I’m having trouble

jeff where can get 2 good ider

Where do I get this kit at ?

the white bushing in swingarm wallows out too down into the metal! swingarm is pain to get out with brake petal on one side. i miked the bushing, ordered a collared copper bushing amazon and tightened bushing into the worn hole/bushing. maybe the copper will last, otherwise swingarm needs taken out and welded up & install new bushings! FORD-fix or repair daily--ha-ha

Where is this located in the truck?

Question, after you took the clutch push rod out did it cause the master cylinder to leak? If not does that mean I can just take it out with your trick no worries?

My truck is down same reason

better then factory

I did this mod and both master and slave clutch cylinders got shot how do I know if d push rod is long?

It’s not the problem, it’s the failure- dude

My 86 f150 has no plastic bushing. Does have a cotter type pin to hold linkage on.
