Took a closer look at my clutch control parts today prior to (planning to) bead blasting them, and found that that would be a waste of time. Yup, pretty dang worn out: not only are the ball studs very worn, but so are the "Lever, Control with tube" and the Pedal Release Rod. The Lever is very worn on the inside where it rides on the balls, and the hole for the Release Rod is elongated. The ends of the Release Rod are worn about a quarter way through the diameter of the rod. More parts to add to the ever-growing "things to buy" list :( At least the bearings in the bracket feel pretty good. And, a few less parts to have to clean up!
