Pedal bracket pin removal

prepferd · 12-06-2008, 03:43 PM

Is there an easy way to remove the Accelerator pedal bracket pin.
I removed the cotter pin but the pin wont slide out.
Do I have to dismantle the entire plunger to the pedal box to relieve the pressure to get it out.
The pin is pretty old
I have a 95 Medalist that I am replacing the steel Accelerator pedal.

Thanks

That pin is probably rusted in there. Put the nut back on enough to protect the threads and try hitting it with a hammer from the passenger side to drive it out. Becareful with that bolt it is a special shouldered type.

Yep, its rusted solid. Last one I removed took a cutting torch to get it out....that was after ripping the head off with a 3/4 inch impact.

Dang rusty old marathons, anyway

Try lots of PB Blaster or similar rust remover and some time....

I've had the rusted bolt issue before and usually causes brakes to drag.
When I finally get the bolt out by what ever means I will drill the shaft of the new one with a .0625 or 1/8" drill bit and drill and thread a grease fitting in the head before reassembling.
