Just remove the pedal, not the whole assembly. It should be one clip for the brake rod the brake light switch and the nut that holds the pedal to the shaft. Pretty straight forward. You know you have to drill a new pivot hole in the pedal, also what did you plan on doing about your brake light switch, since the new pivot hole lands in the location of the switch. I like to install a pressure switch to activate the brake lights and use a hurst line lock kit which has the extra ports to do that, and tie it all back in to the wiring under your dash for the brake lights. Good luck!
On a side note, I hope you are removing your proportioning valve also, the aerospace master cylinder is proportioned already and does not require a proportioning valve, as a matter of fact the rep from aerospace i spoke w/ before told me it was down right unsafe to use and proportioning valve w/ there master cylinder , period.
Thanks alot. I had no idea about the pv. I have a turbocoupe db rearend, so the master cylinder should help it out. I bought the jegs line lock but ill think of something on the light switch. I appreciate it a bunch.
No problem. you would think they would tell you about the pv in the directions w/ the master cylinder, but they don't, you actually have to talk to there tech to get that info. Good luck on the install.
Thanks. One more quick question. Is it all possible to pull pedal arm without pulling dash. I been under this thing all evening, havent made any progress.
Yep, there should be a nut that holds just the pedal on the pivot, kind of a pia to get to but defently don't have to pull the dash.
Thats the understatement of the year, lol. Im 5'8'' and about 30 Inches shoulder to shoulder. Thanks for your help. Ill get it or be discoverd wedged under there in a few days.

is the aerospace manual master cylinder that same as the strange unit? does anyone know if the strange manual master cylinder needs a proportioning valve?
i'm right in the middle of this as well.
thanks.

I'm not sure on that. The description of it on jeg's website says something about four wheel braking, so it probably is pre proportioned. Just a heads up, it was three evenings after work trying to pull break pedal out. Once I got it out 5 mins going back in. I could't get the nut started so I pulled it out, drilled it, and incerted cotter pin. I think it will ride.
