Read the entire instruction manual before beginning installation. Some stock parts will be used in reassembly. When referencing the side of the vehicle, the driver side of the vehicle is considered the left side and the passenger side of the vehicle is considered the right side of the vehicle. Multiple vehicles may be used for these installation instructions; however, the process remains the same for these applications.
2005-2011 C6 Corvette Instructions 1. Locate the hole directly above the hood release lever located on the driver side foot well underneath the dash. 2. One side of the spring has a longer loop on it than the other. Insert the free end of the spring with the longer loop into the supplied bracket. 3. Insert the remaining free end of the spring with the shorter loop into the hole in the bracket on the vehicle and make sure that it is hooked around the hole. 4.

Insert the set screw and, using a 1/8” hex key, tighten it down to secure the clutch return spring bracket to the clutch pedal. 6. Install the locking nut on the end of the set screw. Using a 7/16” socket and torque wrench, torque the locking nut to 89 in-lb. 7. The installation of the clutch return spring kit is now complete on your C6 Corvette.
1997-2004 C5 Corvette Instructions 8. One side of the spring has a longer loop on it than the other. Insert the free end of the spring with the longer loop into the supplied bracket. 9.

20. Disconnect the ambient inside temperature sensor from the lower dash panel. 21. Locate the 13mm bolt above and slightly in front of the hood release. There is a brace that holds the wiring harness to the frame. This must be removed to relocate the wires away from the spring on the clutch return spring bracket. 22. Locate the bolt on the frame that is indicated. There is a nut on top of the frame that must be loosend to allow the bolt to drop down.
24. Make sure that there is no interference between the spring and the wiring harness. Using a 15mm wrench and socket socket, torque the dash frame bolt to 22 ft-lbs. 25. Move the wiring harness over to the right and secure it with the supplied cable tie as shown. This is to prevent the wiring harness from getting pinched between the spring. 26.
