At the recommended 1/4 in freeplay at the bearing (by ram) I have the common condition of the pedal not coming all the way up, the over center spring keeps the pedal pinned against the bearing. As I adjust the bearing clearance less it improves... but, I cannot get to the point where the pedal will pop up on it's own like it's supposed to, without running completely out of bearing clearance..
The car sits now with an 1/8th of bearing clearance and requiring a toe lift every time to get the pedal up. It might even pop up over a bump.. thats how close I am !
Is the release fork return spring in place? This is needed to return the pedal to its up stop.
