Agreed, Dave.

pre-loaded. >>

DITTO, DITTO & DITTO ! ! !   Bob, this is  MANDATORY ! ! !

DITTO, DITTO & DITTO ! ! !   Bob, this is ALSO MANDATORY ! ! !

Ditto and [yes, I KNOW <G>] assuming that you do NOT "ride the clutch" 
or "slipping" it whilst starting from a traffic lite or up-hill grade ! !

adjustment. >>

Agreed, however I would like to add that you "should" replace the bush 
IN the gearbox case along with the bush in the Relay Lever.  I hope it 
goes un-needed, but you ALSO "should" use a NEW spigot Bush ! ! !

Failure of following the above [both Dave & my own] advice will just 
'allow' you to go thru this "exercise" again in a year or three (3) - 
car use dependant <VBG> ! ! !

Thar said, I do have a Spridget Customer that MUST do a clutch job 
nearly EVERY 'season' and his car is NOT a daily driver [but DOES see 
a LOT of "fair-weather use ! ! !

Best..............
