Tranny linkage adjustment

Found what I was looking for in the chassis manual I think.
My take on the use of this fixture is (as I cannot find specific instruction or maybe I can't read).......

Bolt the clutch cover over the 10" X .310" disk with 1.700" spacer to the flywheel.
Bolt the 2.650" disk to the spacer.
Adjust the eyebolt nuts so that the face of each finger just contacts the bottom of the 2.650" disk.
Remove fixture and stake the nuts to lock them.

Gonna crawl under and check but I think those nuts are already staked from the factory and I'm not sure I can adjust them.
I've got the clutch adjusted to .050 departure as per the manufacturer specs, but the throw out bearing is tight against the pressure plate fingers. What gives? I'll post a pic of my pedal setup and pushrod. I'm thinking I'm not getting the proper travel in pedal swing causing the initial adjustment to be to tight to achieve full release of the clutch disc at full depression of the pedal.
