Assuming that this is an easy-pedal clutch (not a SOLO); the clutch brake squeeze is the end result of proper clutch release travel. Adjust the release bearing so that there is 1/2" gap between the clutch brake and the release bearing. Then you should adjust the linkage so that you have a 1/8" gap between the release fork and the release bearing (results in a bout 1 1/2" clutch pedal free travel).
