just a little mind this week and there's definitely a little difference. the crazy thing about it as I stepped on the spring after I took it out and it supported all my weight! that is way too much tension to have on a clutch pedal.with this new spring it definitely wasn't to drive the car and it was before.
on a side note with putting the pin back into the spring assembly I used a pair of craftsmen channel locks to squeeze the Pin back in the spring assembly. it went in without much difficulty after an hour of frustration
