Im in the process of changing the MC on my 68. I am putting one out of the granda for the disc swap and was under the impression that the rod stayed on the car and was used with the granada. It isn't coming out though. Is it suppoes to?

 

Does no one know if the rod is supposed to stay in the car or not??

 

IIRC you remove the rod from the pedal, remove brake lines and unbolt. Remove mc and rod as a unit. Put the rod in a vise and tug out the rod - it will not be easy.

The ones for the granda were on the same side as the mustang, so thats what I got
