You have to remove the pedal cluster to do it. I recently rebuilt my cluster and it's not hard.

The R&R of the cluster is about 30 minutes. Then you need to punch out the roll pin that holds the clutch pedal on. There's a external circlip that holds on the brake pedal. Now you can replace the spring, but maybe you should paint and lube it before reinstalling. Also check the clutch cable hook... mine broke and needed to be replaced.

Here's a picture of how the cluster goes together.

great pics i'll give it shot how hard is it to get the cluster out

Just (2) 15mm bolts. You'll have to disconnect the clutch and gas cable 1st.

I think one of the magazines did a step by step article a few months ago.
