Reference Clutch Controls Drawing in Bently page 30 (30.8)

Just had the clutch master cylinder replaced and the mechanic said there was
about a 1/2 inch play in the rod that comes out of the master cylinder and
connects to the clutch pedal (which I have verified). The bently calls for
.5mm max. and to adjust it with the Clevis.  It also says to access this by
removing the instrument panel.  I've tried to access by removing the
instrument panel, the fuse/relay panel, and steering wheel cover, but I
still could not figure out how to get to it to make the adjustment.

My questions are how serious is the 1/2 play in the rod?  And, just how does
one get to the Clevis to make the adjustment and take a look at the pin to
see what kind of shape it is in?

Thanks,
