IF you have access to the FSM a diagram is located on CL-5, which is clutch page 5.
So if you look at your clutch pedal from underneath the dash, now move the pedal with your hand. You'll be able to see the pedal moving a shaft that connects to your clutch master cylinder. Its up behind so you'll have to squeeze your head in there. There is a wrist pin that is held in by a cotter pin. Pull the cotter pin out.
Now sometimes to get the wrist pin out you'll have to unbind it from its home, push the clutch pedal and wriggle that sucker out. Now that shaft that is actually PART of the Clutch Master will be free from the pedal. On that shaft at the end where you just pulled the pin out is the clevis. Pull the shaft GENTLY free from the pedal ONLY way it will go is down, it does takes just a bit of patience. You now have access to the clevis. To loosen the clevis is to raise engagement and to tighten is drop it.
Now hook it back up(but no need to put the cotter pin in now). Test the clutch pedal just with the car on not driving. Check you engagement point. If it suits you, tighten the stopper nut (sometimes involves taking everything apart again depending on your tools at hand).
MAKE SURE you put the cotter pin back in place.
