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

[@ingridjay2003]

GREAT VIDEO. Thank you for taking the time to explain carefully and show clearly.

[@william_aragon]

this was really help full, I got all the parts I needed on ebay

[@deepvalleyslimeproductions3856]

This saved my life My clutch pedal came off while driving

[@BuzzBoi315]

Had my master or my slave cylinder seize while on the road, and of course I tried to force the pedal, and managed to break all the bushings. This is definitely a helpful video, so thank you, sir. especially for those part numbers, they saved a lot of headache.

My clutch pedal broke off while driving to work which really surprised me. It did start squeaking every maybe 10th push. I thought the master push rod broke at first when it happened. I think I'm going to bulletproof it and take dash out and put a bolt like there should have been to start with. I really can't complain too much as it did last 26 years / 234k miles. Love my S10 it has been trouble free for a long time. Wish GM would make a true compact pickup again though. The dorman help stuff is hit and miss most of the time in my experience. The circle bushings are discontinued from GM now but luckily can still get them from other companies. Thanks for the video.

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 😂🤪

[@Jon.Rushing]

@@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.

Thanks for the video, went off it today. Had to make the same repair. I lost one of the Springs, the dealer wanted $30 for just one spring. My local ace hardware had it for $2 bucks . Those two part numbers for the two different upper bushing i think are discontinued as well, luckily my local gm dealer had some laying around and yes they were cheap, around like $1.60 for one and $.70 cents for the other. The lower bushing that connects to slave cylinder bracket arm is like $11 bucks from dealer.

[@markm6042]

Make more videos, very thorough and great camera work. Thank you

[@theman9764]

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!

[@SPS-STCMTL]

So after hunting for the Hair Pin Clip I found out for that little lip on the pedal after you modify your Dorman bushing a 3/8 E clip works just as well.

[@richardcabitto5108]

Dan!! You are the Man!! Going to attempt this this week on a 2000 s-10 2.2l and was completely unsure on how to put it together! Stupid diagrams on remove and install found on the inter web provided no useful instructions and your video is perfect! I’m fairly confident I can get it done now especially since I won’t be running a camera!! Cheers sir!!!

[@theman9764]

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

[@lontejay9454]

I was in search for a video to help with clutch actuator rod to stay in the master cylinder. Your video cleared things up for me and taught me something new about the pedal bushing aside from that. Very informative and educational. Apparently my master cylinder must be worn out in the back of it where the rod meets the piston. I periodically hear a "pop" noise pressing it. I s'pose I'm gonna' have to replace the cylinder although the cylinder actually works on the other side. Thanks for your your tutorial video. Keep up the good work! God bless and Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

[@ZENEN63]

Thank you very much. your video help me a lot,you did a really good job. I have a 1999 gmc sonoma and I have the same trouble but now I know how fix it and the parts number, again thank you very very much.

[@markharris4260]

Excellent video, now I know what to expect when I tackle my plastic bushing toilet paper holder on my s-10 yay me !

[@theman9764]

Lol, didn't know how else to describe it

[@d_rizze9025]

Thank you for this video it helped me fix my truck!!!

[@andrewalba606]

Awesome video helpful af for anyone who can’t get the pedal out I recommend a adjustable telescopic pry bar I have a smaller Boxo brand that helped me I was in the dark how to get it off for a while damaged the springs tho

[@ryderhenson6698]

Hey Dan! I’m looking at how to do my master cylinder because the push rod is starting to just come off the pedal and I have replaced the linkage bushing and plus one of the wires to nss broke out of the main harness in the same truck hopefully I can use this to try to trace the wire back and find the other end😂

[@karenpdisse351]

Thanks for this video, helped me a great deal

[@DeathSong]

mines making an annoying squawking sound when I press in the clutch. sounds like in the floorboard and its a 99.. so this video was a good one to watch cause now im assuming its this. Thank you and awesome video.

[@theman9764]

Thanks man! I appreciate the good feedback

[@wessunde2801]

That noise might be the clutch throw-out bearing.

[@DeathSong]

@@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.

[@theman9764]

Also found out the previous owner installed some sort of high performance clutch which means there's more pedal pressure to overcome which means more stress for the stock pedal pivot bushings which means I'll probably be replacing these again fairly soon

[@dangerdoberman]

Helpful. Thank you!

[@nachodiaz6025]

Muchas gracias señor me ayudó mucho 😀

Great job Sir. Excellent video thanks you.

[@theman9764]

Thanks man!

[@Carlos-qx7yk]

Hello I have a question, how did you take off the pedal from its place. Thank you

[@theman9764]

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

[@lalo2641]

Thank you buddy I gotta do that tomorrow

[@LuisValensuela-ke4dq]

Where can I buy those pieces? The same thing happened to me with my walk.

[@AlejandroGuerrero-b9z]

Muy bien esxplicado gracias

[@malcolmx8874]

How did you take the clutch pedal out. Im reading decompress the springs but there is no way to do this. Can you kindly share how you got the old clutch pedal out?

[@theman9764]

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

[@malcolmx8874]

@@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?

[@theman9764]

@@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.

[@blakewebb5241]

Hey Dan hoping you could help me out. I had this same exact issue and finally found the black bushings to repair mine. But lost that little white thing and box springs😭. Can’t find that part anywhere, I’ve checked everywhere. I don’t even know what it’s called. Any help would be very appreciated!

[@blakewebb5241]

It’s the thing you called a Toilet paper holder

[@theman9764]

I think it's GM part #15734410

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

Tienes video de como quitaste el pedal? Tengo el mismo problema

[@wattsmotorsports1588]

Clutch pedal goes to the floor and returns but the clutch doesn't disengage. What do I need to fix?

[@theman9764]

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

[@bassguy1945]

Yes but how did you get the old ones out though

[@theman9764]

@bassguy1945 they were already broken and had fallen out, might have to take a small sawzall and carefully cut it out

[@prestondelacruz6289]

Is it the same method for a 1998 s10

[@theman9764]

I believe so but can't promise nothing

[@davidescobedo3739]

Great video man, the bushing are plastic or metal?

[@theman9764]

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

Hey Dan what was the issue or the problem with your truck that you had to replace it. I’m wondering bc my truck sometimes won’t start and sometimes it does . Is that the same problem you were having .?

[@theman9764]

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?

Could you show a video where you explain how you removed the pedal?

[@theman9764]

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

[@farmermullins1569]

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.

My bushing that connects to the master cylinder keeps breaking. 😢

[@theman9764]

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

[@chriscabaniss7354]

[@williamfuentes5357]

How do you remove

[@theman9764]

@williamfuentes5357 on this particular truck, the pedal had fallen out, but i would guess you could take a thin sawzall blade and cut it out, the bushing that is

[@garybarrett8599]

I know how to replace I need to know how to take the clutch pedal out

[@theman9764]

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

[@DeathSong]

So i have returned to your video because my pedal is about to do this.. Its very wobbly left to right.. Idk how to get it outta there to change these bushings tho.. Do i just wait until it falls out or is there a way to get it out without destroying anything. .

[@theman9764]

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

How do you take out to replace
