Default Squeaky clutch question

I pumped grease into the fitting under the car on the clutch linkage but I still get a squeak when I push the pedal. I contorted myself under the dash and I can see the pivot but it is obscured by the entire wiring harness and fuse box etc. Of course I don't want to squirt some lube all over that area. Any advice? Should I start pulling kick panels and such to get at it or is there some trick to lube this area? :(

Did you pump grease into the cross-shaft? It's probably more effective to remove the shaft and regrease the ball studs by hand. Also take the opportunity to replace the nylon seats at the frame-end mount.

While the shaft is removed, actuate the pedal by hand and see if the pivot makes noise. When reinstalling, apply some grease at each connection point.

The squeak is coming from inside the car for sure. I had my head 6 inches fromt he pedal and moved it by hand and I could hear it.

Same questions... should I start tearing apart the interior? Is there an easy way to lube the pedal pivots? :confused:
