A company on eBay uses a swivel knuckle to replace the bushing. Permanent fix.

Here's an old article that should help if you're trying to replace the pedal box mainshaft bushings:

Pedalbox Bushing Replacement
Courtesy of: Roy (BigBopper)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are instructions for pedalbox bushing replacement:
Disconnect clutch master cylinder pushrod, wiring, 2-13mm nuts (outside firewall), and pull out into engine compartment.
Remove clip, bushings, and brakelight switch/wiring from brake pedal, pull pushrod away from pedal.
Remove 4-15mm nuts (inside firewall) that retain brake booster to firewall. Pull brake booster/master cylinder assembly into engine compartment, do not disconnect any lines (may have to remove airbox lid for clearance).
Remove the 13mm bolt on the upper steering u-joint, and separate it from the steering shaft, let it hang, while still connected to the firewall end.
Remove the two 10mm bolts that run vertically up into the dash.
The pedalbox should now come out with a lot of wiggling and cursing (the clutch master cylinder has studs that stick through the firewall and come out with the pedalbox).
With pedalbox on the bench, disengage the clutch spring (less tension with the pedal depressed) and remove the 18mm nut on the clutch pivot end of the shaft (opposite end from the clutch pedal).
Mark the splines on the shaft and the arm to identify exact same location when reinstalling (centre punch works well).
Reinstall 18mm nut hand tight, and strike with hammer to disengage the spline.
Remove the arm and withdraw the clutch shaft from the opposite end.
Replace the bushings one at a time using lots of grease while installing.
Reinstall the clutch shaft, and pivot and torque 18mm nut.
Install clutch pedal spring.
Reverse all steps to reinstall.
Pedal box bushing kit Ford part number F3TZ-2C342-A this does'nt come with the clutch pushrod bushing. Not a bad job, just need to be patient.
Good Luck...

Hope that helps. Cheers!

Thanks for the article that looks like a pita.lol How does that ebay part go in?

The ebay fix replaces the clutch master cylinder rod end and the bushing that goes in it, as well as the nub on the pedal linkage arm. Cheers!

Actually the Ebay fix doesn't replace the clutch rod but you cut the end off and replace it with the helm joint. It is well worth the money. Once you put it in it is done.

That's why I said "rod end"

,but I could have been clearer on that for the OP. Cheers!

Alrighty thanks, do you still have to take it all the way apart to do that?

It can be done while everything is still under the dash. It just depends on how you like to work upside down or sideways. The instructions that come with it tell you how to do it while it is still in the truck.

Ok that sounds like the best way to do it, i prefer fixes rather than a new faulty part.lol Guess il return the bushings.:doh:Thanks for the help

You can buy the WHOLE assembly with new pedals, bracket, and bushing for about $150 bucks. Ready to bolt in. Depending on how long the bushing has been worn it can egg shape the bracket.
