    M/C Service '54 Be Air

    It's been many a year but IIRC , the pedal shaft is held in by a cotter pin inside the bell housing , lucky for you , the Master Cylinder comes off easily , no need to remove the pedal shaft unless the bushings are totally shot .

    Interestingly , just to day as I was running Errands in South Central Los Angeles I happened across a complete '53 Two Door Sedan , it might be a Bel Air , I have to go back and check .

    Nate, that's the ride I rode home in from the hospital when I was born. Entered this world in style, in my opinion!
