Depends which type you have. If its the non servo type then yes you need to get to the split pin and clevis on the pedal, and yes they are bloody awkward!!

Dangerous - Surely you can't get access this way? Or is it still a case of using long-nose pliers, just without being a contortionist (sp?) at the same time?

I'm asking - not being funny LOL!!! This is the problems with the internet!!!!


I've always done the contortionist thing, but now thinking that undoing the nuts and master cyl pipes, you could lift the master cyl and actually see the split pin enough to pull out with regular pliers? Or is it still quite a way down?

The clevis pin is 1 1/4" down when you pull the m/c up.
Think I squashed the splitpin tails together with me fingers,and pointed it the right way in the car.Then yanked the pin out from above

Some peeps tie a bit of fishing line to the split pin and leave under carpet for the next time,or use a p clip thing.....er.....like what holds the shell on,on a remote control car
