New Gas Pedal

[ScottNoxid]

How do you remove the pin on the factory gas pedal? I want to change it to a aluminum one, and I can't even see how the original pin is on there. I bet it will be pretty simple. ThanksScott

I just did it recently. I pushed on it from the side closest to the console. On the side closest to the brake, the pin has a head on it. After getting it out a little i used pliers to pull it out. The real fu part is getting it back in. The problem is that when it goes bak in the spring thing that is behind it gets in the way of the pin going through the holes. I tried for a while and finally bent the spring some so that it could pass through. After i bent it the pin went through with no problem. Good luck.

My nephew came by over the weekend, he is a mechanic for the local Chevy dealer here. You are going to hate me for this, but he just removed the whole thing by taking a bolt out at the top of the entire gas pedal, put it on my work bench, had the pedal off in about 30 seconds, and put the new aluminum one, and installed the whole thing back in a flash, and I am up and running with my new one in about 10 minuets. I must have spent about an hour trying to get the gas pedal off by removing the pin with it in the car, and never did succeed. I was flabbergasted. Thanks for the reply, maybe this will help someone else down the line.Scott
