Clutch pedal pivot

For some time the clutch pedal has been squeaking every time the clutch was operated. It started off intermittent then became more regular until it finally stayed for good and seemed to be getting louder.

The clutch pivot is accessed from under the bonnet. Just to the right of the brake servo you will see a cover fixed with six screws. This is where the clutch pedal mechanism lives.

After removing the six screws (one of which is a bit awkward as the servo gets in the way.) you will be able to see the pivots. Make sure you don’t lose the gasket!

A drop of oil on the pivots and all is now squeak free! Refit the cover (not forgetting the gasket) and it’s all done. (apologies for the shonky pictures, for some reason ‘manual focus’ was set up on the camera and I didn’t realise!)

A few drops of '3in1' penetrating oil
