This is called the “push lever.” The one that came with my MDL kit had a bad spherical bearing that was causing binding. The clutch pedal wouldn’t return to it’s resting position. I spoke with MDL and they had me isolate the push lever and it was still binding so we knew one of the two bearings were bad. I don’t remember which bearing was bad but it was easy to tell that one of the two was not articulating properly. I sent the lever back to MDL and they sent me a replacement. All was good!

This was the first time in my life that I'd messed with a K member. It's a major piece of the car but I was surprised at how easy it came out. All of the hardware connected to it is/was worthless junk to me!

No helper so the jack and wood were invaluable in getting the new K into place.

You can see my scribe marks for my measurements. In addition to the lower hole in the lower right corner, I also had to elongate the front slot.

How do you like my home built, wooden jackstands? Lots of online info on building them out of 2X4s. They're very sturdy and extremely stable. This car body is very light so I actually trust them more than I trust real jackstands.

You can see how I wrapped the plastic sheeting up the side of the car and held the plastic there with super strong, rare earth magnets.

Looking under the car toward the back. You can see part of the K member in the upper right corner of the picture.

From the back of the car looking forward. You can see a cut up cardboard box underneath the plastic sheeting.

The bit cut good for about 5 seconds and pretty much stopped cutting. I had my drill speed down as slow as it would go; 600 rpm. Too fast for a 5/8" drill bit.

The later 1999-2004 spindles are the same as the '96-'98 except they have a little more clearance around the mounting ears. In other words, the 1996-2004 are all the same. Do not use them with a stock, OEM Fox K member!

It’s currently got SN95 axles (Superior Gear) in it that are .75” longer per side.
