if it just wants adjusting then look at your clutch pedal; it will have an allen key on the front just tweak this till pedal feels right if the ratchet needs doing take it someone who knows what they are doing if not confident yourself they can be a twat to someone inexperienced i personally dont think they are that bad i just whip the pedal box out then its no problem to change

as botters said mate just take the full pedal box out alot easier, although make sure you need it replaced 1st! Ive done the hassle of it out and it didnt need replaced. Usually hits the floor and ratchets back up when it needs replaced as this the only time ave had to replace mine and ive done plenty can be a crappy job but worth it if you stick at it but I think yours may just need adjusting
