One suggestion if you haven't done it yet.....remove the seat and throw a
heavy blanket on the floor. Makes working there soooo much easier.

Hello All
I want to remove the clutch pedal from the car, which seems to require
removing the pedal's mounting bracket and pedal as an assembly. It appears the
bracket is secured to the rear of the firewall by a plate with two bolts.
The lower bolt is actually the upper through-bolt which also secures the
clutch master cylinder. It appears the upper mounting bolt is inserted from
the front as the head of a bolt is visible in the engine bay a few inches
directly above the clutch master. So one would guess that the clamping plate
which holds the pedal bracket to the firewall has an unthreaded lower hole
for the master cylinder through-bolt and a threaded upper hole to engage the
upper mounting bolt inserted from the engine bay.
My question is - is it really that simple, or are there complications that
I'm not appreciating, tricks to help with re-assembly, etc. Thought I'd
ask before disassembling things in the dark upper reaches of the under-dash.
All suggestions appreciated.
BTW, if the upper mount bolts for the clutch and brake pedal assemblies
are inserted from the engine bay, what finish should the exposed bolt heads
be, or are they painted?
Thanks
