How to replace the clutch pedal bushings on a 1999 Chevy S10 pickup 

Brotherrrr! Mime just did the same thing! 99 with 280k haha. Thankfully I'm in front of the house though. So what did you do to fix it? What did you use? Since the circle bushings are now discontinued. I've had the dash out of the truck 3 times before. Fixing blend doors and heater core twice. Cause I loved doing it so much the 1st time 😂🤪

@@Galli1084 Part numbers I used: GM 15029952 (sold as 10 pack at dealer but need just 2) , GM 93221087 (clutch master bushing) , Dorman 74016 (has 3 different sets of 2 - I used tightest fitting set), I reused the white plastic spacer and the springs. I sprayed white lithium grease on pretty much everything that could move. And it just slides up like in video and hear it snap in place. I did pull dash because I lost a/c (stuck on heat) so I am in middle of replacing blend door actuator as I type this actually. Pulling dash worked out better because the left side pedal pivot that broke was stuck in the hole so I was able to push it out from the non pivot side but I think I could have screwed a screw into it to pull it out like a nail if did not want to pull dash. It looked like too much work to put bolt in to bulletproof (have to take off the steering wheel supports assembly that is bolted to firewall ) so I figured it lasted 26 years with this design so why not another 26. If it happens again with in that time I will do the bolt. I am still doing the a/c fix and I hope it is not the blend door itself since I can not find one new and dont have the time to tear apart one in a pick n pull. Overall could easily fix clutch on side of road if had parts with me and saved myself a tow.

Had a really busy year and didn't have much time to make any decent videos, but hopefully I'll start making them again really soon! Thanks for watching!

It's really not that bad of a repair, just the lack of room kinda sucks

Lol, didn't know how else to describe it

Thanks man!

Thanks man! I appreciate the good feedback

That noise might be the clutch throw-out bearing.

@@wessunde2801 it stopped a few days after I made this comment. Hasn't give me another issue really.. however my back right wheel bearing is singing :( so I'll have to fix that soon.

The bushings were broken and the pedal had fallen out, come to find out a previous owner had installed a high performance clutch and it caused excessive pedal pressure which over strained the bushings and they broke

Unfortunately they're plastic, another permanent fix for this would be to remove the whole pedal bracket and install a long bolt all the way thru and use a bolt with threads only on the end

@@theman9764 thanks

I'm not sure what the symptoms were before the pedal broke but there are several reasons why it will or won't start at times, is it a crank/no start? Or no crank/no start? 2 totally different set of possible problems?

It’s the thing you called a Toilet paper holder

I think it's GM part #15734410

Thank you so much! I think I found it on Amazon with that part number. Really appreciate it man!!!

You don’t happen to know the spring part number do you?

@@blakewebb5241 i think the spring part # is 15735121, you'll need 2 springs

On this particular vehicle, the pedal pivot bushings were already broke in half so the pedal just fell out, but if you needed to remove the pedal, i would guess you'd have to attempt to cut each bushing without damaging the little springs

@@theman9764 the bushing on the left side is broken. I try wedging a screwdriver where the break is to free the right side but it wont shake free. Even though its broken on one side, its like something inside still holding it. If i break it will it break the case holding the pedal arm?

@@malcolmx8874 it shouldn't break the case but try not to apply so much force that it starts binding up against the case, if the bushing is broken or already coming apart then it shouldn't take much more to get it out, sounds like you're fighting against the remaining portion of the bushing and spring that's still encased in the pedal, it's not going to be easy to remove, but if anything does break, most of the parts are readily available

@@theman9764 ok thanks a lot.

Need to check the hyd clutch reservoir and see if it's empty, if it's full, then chances are either the clutch master cyl or slave cyl are bad and bypassing pressure

I guess I'm not sure what cable you're referring to?

@@theman9764 for the clutch pedal

I guess your clutch won't work

I believe so but can't promise nothing

Not sure which metal clip you're referring to?

@@theman9764 the one after you modified the Dorman clip

@@theman9764 Thanks for the decent quality vehicle you helped me with a 4 month ordeal on my 03 Sonoma.

That vehicle is long gone now, and the pedal had fallen out already, but i don't think you can remove it without destroying the plastic pivot, i think a sawzall would be the best way to cut the plastic pivot

I think I will try Sawzall or just wiggle it back and forth trying to finish breaking the old bushings. Mine are in real bad shape.

An we noticed my bushings are broke an my pedals messed up

Could possibly be a couple of different things, clutch master cyl could be bad, or the slave cyl, check the clutch master cyl fluid level, worn out clutch disc, or the pedal linkage is broken, start with the easy things first

@@theman9764 so far master an slave cylinder have been fixed, my clutch safety switch is good, I’m gonna. Be getting the bushings for my pedal to fix it just incase it isn’t getting compressed enough to engage since the pedals messed up

At the Chevrolet Dealership or any auto parts store, maybe even Amazon

en la agencia de la chevy

The little spring loaded plastic tubes that hold it up there can be cut with a sawzall, it's not easy to remove, there's no real easy way to remove the pedal besides getting rough with it and just cutting the tubes with a thin blade

Might have to take a sawzall and cut the bushings but be careful to not cut or damage the springs, or maybe try rocking the pedal back and forth with some force and hope the bushing breaks in half
