brake pedal removal

[ken smith]

Any suggestions how to remove brake pedal fromunder dash upport? Clutch pedal out , pivot pin thru brake pedal out...pedal won't come down ( or out )What's keeping it in place? Thankks for any suggestions...

I am baffled. If the pivot pin is out the pedal should be free?

Does your pedal assembly look like this?

 

[ken smith]

Yes, that's what the linkage looks like.After unhooking all thr clutch linkage , I removed the clutch pedal which has the pivot pin which goes thru the brake pedal arm. I thought the brake pefal would drop out...but no!

Did you remove the master Cylinder push rod which is pinned to the pedal?

 

[ken smith]

Yes..rod is out!

Try tapping the pedal out. It may be wedged in there a bit.

ok...got it out. Clutch pedal pivot arm goes thru a bushing in the brake pedal pivot..after you pull out the clutch pedal there is a OD /ID bushing that holds the brake pedal in place...this special bushing is bolted into the side of the under dash pedal support.So OD of this bushing is the pivot for the brake pedal and the ID of this bushing is the pivot for the clutch pedal..Thanks for all your thoughts / ideas!

I was thinking some type of bushing. I think I may have been in this situation before.

Was going to suggest the bigger hammer method.
