Clutch pedal adjustment

My model of MX-5 is: __NC1 Having nothing better to do, a little slop in the clutch pedal mechanism and a slightly notch 1st to 2nd gearchange I thought I’d give this a go. 2 mins to get the lockout loose, 30 seconds to adjust the rod to remover the slack and AN HOUR AND A HALF TO TIGHTEN THE LOCKNUT BACK UP! I’m not a big chap but I cant bend enough the get in that footwell! Had to try 5 different 12mm spanners to get the ■■■■■■ tight again! Having a nice coffee now to calm down…
