Post by wibble_puppy »

ello,

Are there any differences in appearance between the clutch return spring and the brake return spring?

Clutch:

Brake (sorry the picture is enormous, I've just copied it straight from ESM's catalogue):

So on the brake one it looks like the hook ends are at right-angles.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

ooh - hadn't spotted that difference. Thanks, Alex. Can't work out why my van had two clutch release springs fitted, one evidently serving as the brake pedal release spring :roll: :-?

ps I've never been able to work out why the brake pedal spring is so ginormous on the ESM site either, lol - evidently it's for a GIANT morris minor
