take out your seat, lay on your back under the dash and reach up, then lift up the pedal to remove tension from the pin, and flick the plastic thing up with a fingernail, or you can pull the cable up and it will go with it.

All i see when i look behind the pedal is a white 1-1/2" or so long pin that seems to be holding the pedal in place... Am i missing something?

ahh I thought you meant pulling the pin that holds the throttle cable on, sorry.

I haven't pulled the actual pedal out before, can't help [dance]

Theres two studs coming through the firewall with two nuts on them securing the pedal to the firewall. I think they are 15mm nuts or maybe 14mm can't recall

It's easy. Take the pressed pin out.

I used channel ox to muscle it out, and then when it was out enough I used a doorpanel removal tool (u could prolly just use a screw driver) to finish prying the pin out.

No special tricks or anything, just some muscle will do you. You might wanna take the assebmly out anyway so you can hammer the pin back in when you wan to replace it... unless you have big forearms.

[Whoo Whooooo!]
