Even the two on the other side of the brake master?

did you remove the pins attatching the brake master rod and clutch rod to the pedals? Or, I forget exatly how it works, but did you disconnect the pedals from their respective rods?

Did you get it all unattached from the steering column?

It should just slip out :shrug:

Does it feel stuck on anything?

1. I got the following bolts:

4 around the brake pedal (holding it and the brake booster in place)
2 small 10MM bolts holding it to the steering column
2 12 MM bolts on the top end connecting to the steering column
2 Bolts where the clutch would be. both on the firewall but one on the engine bay side.

I also removed the clip and pin holding the pedal to the booster "arm."

I'm not sure what you mean by "unattached" from the steering column. If you mean removed the bolts that hold it there, then yes.

I don't know if it feels stuck on anything.. I can move it back and fourth.. but not up or down.. and I feel like it's the steering column that is keeping it there.. like.. I almost have to remove that column so i can pull it away and out.. like the column goes between it.. and the only way to remove it is to either remove that, spin the pedal column/bracket 90 degrees to pull it sideways out...

hope that helps
