Yep, that's it.

Leave about 3mm of slack in it though, don't nip it up.

According to the manual it says 2-3mm of free movement on the pedal, where you press with your foot. But to save getting up and down, I tend to just make sure there is a little clearance between the operating arm and the round bit that fits into it. It's just to make sure the release bearing isn't riding on the cover plate.

Ahh okay thanks because the nut was wound right to the very end with a new clutch in it could this be why it's not going into gear when the truck is turned on
