2. Start by removing the brake pedal rubber cover. This is done by pulling it from both
sides and angling the rubber downwards.

5. Now comes the difficult bit. At the front of the Accelerator pedal there are 2 cut outs in
the plastic, insert a small flat head screwdriver into both of these as shown below.

6. Once these are in place pus both of them in together and at the same time angle the
pedal forwards and upwards. When you push in the screwdrivers you are releasing 2
clips that hold the pedal down, see the following picture that shows a side profile of
the clips.

7. Now that the pedal has been removed you need to release the cable at the top of the
pedal. To do this push the white clip down as hard as possible until this locks into
place and the connector will then release.

the white retaining clip clicks back up into the locked position.

11. Insert the bolt into place and tighten.

14. Angle the pedal cover backwards as if it was hinged from the bottom. Push down
hard on the pedal until it is locked into place by the 2 parts of rubber that stick out of
the back of the pedal cover. Note: the pedal cover should feel solid and have no play
in it when pushed.

15. Now that this is in place the job is complete and you can step back and look at a job
well done!
