I had this problem and it drove me crazy trying to get at the clutch pedal 
mechanism to lubricate it. I ended up doing it by feel. I sort of memorized 
the locations of everything and put a glob of grease on my finger and 
reached up from the bottom and deposited the grease in the proper place. 
It's been quiet for 6 months now. I just hope I never have to change the 
clutch master cylinder.

Subject:      Squeaky Clutch Pedal

After putting it off for a couple of months I decided to eliminate the
annoying squeak I was getting every time I pushed down the clutch pedal.
So, as normal, I first checked with the Bentley manual to become familar
with the mechanism and found that the repair would be a piece of cake. 
 Uuh,
maybe not.  What Bentley doesn't explain is how to get at the mechanism. 
 It
would appear that the instrument panel would have to be remove, which I 
have
done, however that then presents the problem of having to remove the brake
fluid reservoir.  Is this in fact the next step, and if so can I assume 
that
the brake lines will have to be bled when the reservoir is bolted back in.

Thanks to any anyone who can help.
