I'm trying to adjust the clutch pedal height in 77 LUV, and in the manual it says to loosen the nut attached to the rod, but the nut isn't coming loose. I've sprayed the thing with WD40 everyday for a week and it still doesn't budge. Am I reading the instructions incorrectly, or is it just being stubborn?

FF, on my 79. pop the hood and on the fire wall right in front of the steering wheel you will see the clutch cable, comming through. Two nuts, size 15mm I think twist them in opposite directions. screw in on the nut closest to the fire wall to tighten up cable.( less play) other way loosens it. should catch about 1" from top of peddle travel. Try some knocker loose spray better than WD 40
