Although most everything on the pan is going to be covered with carpet ect.. I decided on doing one more coat of por-15

Now to tackle this nasty pedal assembly. I have never taken one completely apart before so this should be interesting. Just wish I had the cruiser pedal already. I have a brand new billet pedal that I can throw in there for now, but Courtney doesn't like it so it will get replaced soon.

well to start out, due to the fact that I was not sure how the pedal assembly came apart I went ahead and notched it for aliment later on.
Image



Only one pin holds the clutch pedal onto the shaft, but it was rather hard getting the clutch pedal off the shaft once the pin was removed, I ended up locking the end with the hook in my vice and was able to twist it off with a fair amount of force. I did bugger the hook up a little I should be able to straighten it out though. Once that was off there is a c clip that holds the brake pedal. That was hidden under a lot of grease.

This first picture is in order of how I took it apart.

and some close ups. this is more for me in case I forget

Now the clean up
In this picture you can see that I have already cleaned the plunger for the brake pedal
Image

I just did that on my wire wheel. every thing else needs a little extra cleaning power so I pulled out the trusty
Image

and I put everything in a coffee can and gave it a good coating

After seeing how the por-15 turned out on the control arms I decided to use it on the pedals as well

I have not decided what to do with the spring yet. it was pretty rusty and I would hate to put it all back together and have it rust again, and I am not sure how well the por-15 will hold up on a spring

Looks good - How long did it take you to do the pan?
