need help with clutch pedal install... (archive)

OK.. I might have this right but I'd hate do this three times despite the "third times the charm" thing... Trying to install clutch pedal assembly... Should the clutch pedal after install, BEFORE the master is attached, stay at the floor with assistance of the spring? I don't get it - the spring I thought was for help with the return, right? tell me I am wrong... The master pushes free and the system returns w/o the pedal attached... I did replace the pedal bracket (it had broke and been re-welded)with a new one... SO what do I do? When I attached the pedal last time with it staying to the floor, I bled the clutch and it stayed down - didn't return... should I remove the helper spring as the earlier versions work fine w/o them? Help... The car is all back together from a complete overhaul - motor and all, this is the pain that won't let me finish.... Help! Please...
