Pedal Cluster Options

[Bullet]

I'm trying to remove my pedal cluster so that i can replace the pedal bushings. I was able to remove the 2 nuts towards the drivers seat. But the 2 against the bulk head i cant get a soket on them. I crawled way up under there to take a closer look and see what looks like welds on the bold heads. At first i thought it was just some corrosion but after about 50 hard whacks with a chisle i am convinced that they are welds. My qestions is: how the hell do i get theese last 2 bolts out?

Woa... the studs are "not" tack welded to the pan. Unless you mean the small pedal assembly pan. They're not studs either. They're actual bolts that "are" welded to the pedal assembly pan, hence you saw "heads" and you were trying to turn them. They effectively act as studs though.

Andy is correct. You simply need to go under the car and remove the two 13mm nuts holding these bolts/studs in. They don't need to be chiseled out unless you want a boat load of extra work that is totally unnecessary. If your car has a suspension cover those two nuts should come off fine. Use penetrating oil and a MAP torch but by all means don't chisel off the bolts.

Let me know if you want detailed pictures. I have a completed pedal assembly out of the car so you can see the layout.
