Default clutch quadrant question

how much of a pain in the *** is it to switch this out for an aftermarket one, mine sucks and i was gonna get a kit that replaced it and added a firewall adjuster... just wondering how much of a pain it is gonna be to get to and switch it out... i imagine that removing/installing is prty easy, but its prolly alota work to get to it.

eh. Its not horrible. Its harder if you've never done it before. The roughest part is getting the new one back on. The pins go in and out pretty easy. Just need a long screwdriver to pry the old ones off. I took the seat out, as that only takes like 5 minutes, and its worth it. But it definatley can be done with it in if you really don't want to.

yeah, thats why its a pain in the *** to get the new one in. But all in all, its not that big of a job. Just try to stay relaxed and don't get pissed off (as I did) and it'll be fine.
