HOW DO YOU GET THE PIN OUT?

[~Stangzorized~]

How do you guys get the pin off the gas pedal lever? My pedal broke off and I got some Bullitt pedals, I know the clutch and brake pedal are hard, but i thought I could just take the pin out and put the new gas pedal on real quick, but I guess not!

What else is new, nothing ever goes right with Mustangs...

I managed to break my new gas pedal, when I was placing the pin back in. So do what I am doing. Go to your friendly neighborhood Mustang shop with the actuator arm and have them press a new one on.

I used a shop vise. Made the job much easier.

I took the pedal thing out of the car and pounded the crap out it

Crusty old thread.

How hard do you have to beat on that thing, to be able to break it? I've got a 1" spacer on my throttle cable, and I mash the crap out of it, and that hasn't even broken yet!

QFT. I couldn't get the pin in the first time but it felt snug so I let it be. Almost a year later the darn thing fell off. So I went home, unbolted the pedal bracket and used a hammer to drive the pin in all the way. A lot easier than standing on your head under the dash

Interesting....the word synonymous with "hades" was modded out of the original thread title in the past 12-24 hours, after I dug this up from the grave. Censorship on here must have changed a lot since 2004.

LOL.

sorry to revive an old thread, but my damn pedal fell off today, and i could not figure out how in the hell to get that pin back in!! i cant even figure out how it worked itself OUT!!!

then i came here and searched for a similar issue so i wouldnt be starting a thread with a common problem. i just had to quote that, because i, too, was just under my dash on my head with channel locks and a hammer cursing my head off!!

guess the actuator comes off tomorrow to get beat down.
