Did mine this afternoon, got this from another site 😳 I used a vice to close the spring then two tie wraps one on each side on the straight bits to hold in place, with the pedal up align the two ends into the side bushes and was a then depress the clutch and secure with something I just used a piece of 3x2 cut to length wedged against the seat. align the closed end of the spring with the catch at the back of the pedal, then cut the tie wraps, I used a knife as I found the snips were awkward to get in. it’s important to get the back lined up as near as possible with the back bush, ideally within it otherwise it doesn’t locate properly and springs off,

Took me about 10 attempts but I reckon now I’ve done it, I could do it again first time

The result? defiantlay less resistance, not massive but definitely easier, will know better on a longer run as was late for work so only had time to manoeuvre back onto the garage

Edited to add pics, of the old spring but should give you an idea

If you do use tie wraps just a word of warning...………….make sure you use a decent size and quality . I have had four snap causing the spring to fly off took me half an hour trying to find were it had landed in the garage and I was lucky the second time at it pinged around inside the land rover after glancing off my temple. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to us off.
