TOOLS REQUIRED:
- Philips screw driver - for removing the screws on the lower dash panel
- flat head screw driver - for prying the accel cable end
- 12mm socket wrench head - for removing the 2 pedal ass'y bolts
- socket wrench extension
- socket wrench
- grease - for lubricating the necessary parts
PEDAL REMOVAL:
removal of the pedal requires removal of the lower dash panel for ease of access to the two bolts attaching the pedal ass'y to the firewall.
hint: it is easier to remove the accel cable from the pedal ass'y first before completely removing the two bolts. use a flathead screw driver to pry the cable end off the pedal arm, but be careful not to damage the cable end.
this is how far the stock accel pedal is from the brake pedal:
STEP 1: reshape the pedal arm as such (stock pedal on the left, re-shaped on the right). you can use a bench vice (aka gato) to reshape/remove the bend. it won't require heating up the arm and hammering. you need not worry about the pedal pad getting 'twisted' off its perpendicular orientation with respect to the floor/matting/carpet
