Could try bending the studs where they need to be without marring the threads. I had a challenge doing that as well but eventually forced them into position.
No issues or readjustments other than the clutch pedal position. Took me like 2 full days to figure out but with this vid probably would now take me a few hours.
@@roughcutsgarage alright well I’m gonna try and tackle it this weekend have a couple buddies that weld. Have a happy Thanksgiving thanks for the reply
Might be a dumb question but when you pushed the clutch in could you see the bracket moving at all? I'm getting symptoms of my clutch not fully disengaging but when I looked today it seemed solid as a rock and I couldn't see a crack, but then again I had hell of a hard time maneuvering my big head into the space by the pedals. I'm hoping it's okay and just needs a slave cylinder
How long do these brackets last? Put one on in the last 5ish years and now having trouble again. From all the vids I've seen they all break in that upper left corner. What kind of shop did u take it to? Just a machine shop?
Not sure but as far as I know from the records we have on this truck it has never been replaced. We just took it to a welding shop and specified what the part was for and why it broke there and asked them to beef up the corner in places that wouldn't affect the fitment. One of the studs for the clutch master cylinder was a little misaligned when I got it back but after some grunting fit her back in.
I am redoing a 1990 four runner i got for a bargain, appreciate you how to videos!
Thank you for your support! Glad we could help.
Any tips with getting clutch reservoir around studs I got every other bolt sinched down but it's off a hair for the resivoir

How long did it take and did you have to readjust anything? I have a 95 with same issue

Yes, I got my head and flashlight up there and when I pushed the clutch pedal with my hand, I could see the bracket flex with each press.
@@roughcutsgarage right on thanks for the quick reply, I'll try slave cylinder and hope for the best
Good luck!

@@roughcutsgarage how much $? Also saw it can b the fire wall where it attaches can crack. Gonna work on it in the next couple days
It cost us like $85 for them to do it. They estimated half an hour to weld and paint.
Thats 85$ Canadian.
@@roughcutsgarage just looked at it and got some issues. Can I email u a pic and get ur advice?
Why are you taking the steering wheel off
To make enough wiggle room to get the bracket out. Only dropped it though.
Did it fix the issue of not going into reverse and hard time moving into 1st gear?
Yes it did. Works great now.
So you took the brake pedal off?
Yes in order to get the bracket out past the steering column.
