Hi all-
I have the usual sloppy play in my brake and clutch pedals (causes them to make a nasty scraping noise against the side of the hole in the toeboard). I went ahead and purchased the pedal shaft bushing kit from (was) Chevy Duty, and was suprised to find that the outer diameter of the shorter bushing was a full .010 smaller than the bore in the pedal lever. The other was a light interference fit, but could be pushed in by hand. Could the tighter of the two be fixed with a little locktite red so the bushing will stay in place and can be machined? Any body have a similar problem? I'll probably just have to buy a second kit for the other big one. I intend on having the pedal shaft turned down just enough to remove the ridges, and it looks like a LOT of material will need to be honed from inside these thick replacement bushings. Is this reasonable to do with a hand-drill and small hone, or am I better off just having the machine shop do it? I bet if I do it myself the results won't be accurate and I'll have pedal scrape again in my new cab. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, -Warren
