It's pretty straight forward on paper. There's no tricks. Just get under there, prepare to be uncomfortable AF and deal with tiny spaces and zero light (so bring a flashlight!)
If you already adjusted it before, you have an idea what to do. Back the nut off all the way and remove it from the clutch pedal assembly. In the engine bay you just crack lose the clutch line, then unbolt it via the 2 nuts and pull it out.
There's really not much to it, just uncomfortable. I usually tilt the wheel all the way up, seat all the way reclined and back gangster style, and I crawl backwards on my back under it. Face by the pedals, feet by the headrest. Bring a light, and the tools you'll need because you don't wanna go back and fourth as it's annoying and hard on the lower back. Get it done in one shot and crawl out.
I'm 5'9, if you're extremely tall this might not work.

Would you be classified as "extremely tall" John? I thought you had a "grease man" lined up? If you can wait til the weekend I'm happy to give it a go if you hand me the tools (beer is considered a tool BTW...but then again so am I) LMK

If you're really that tall it doesnt take that long to pull the seat, that might make things a little easier.

I just stuffed my 6 year old under the dash to turn the rod. Handy! Are they looking for work? Might be able to make a few bucks. Hahaha.
