Well, the more time I spend on the van and the more I learn, the more I find that needs doing! Thing is, when do I stop? Or do I just continue? Anyway, that's not my question.
Can anybody point out the best/easiest way to remove the accelerator pedal please? So I can get at the rust beyond it!
Its the cable removal bit really.
Cheers, Jon.

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
drill the two rivits out at the base and it should then come of the rod

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
cable removal is done from outside , remove the front indicator lamp.
8mm spanner
as previously said tho drill/ chisel the rivots off to remove the pedal
give it a firm tug upwards and the connecting rod will seperate from the pedal.

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
Hi, one of the rivets holding my accelerator pedal in place seems to have snapped, so it is moving sideways a bit.
Should I drill out old one and replace with a screw or something? Any ideas?

I put rivnuts in ours so it's an unscrew job when the next pedal breaks
. I guess another pair of large rivets would be the usual way of dealing with it though ?Ian

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
or rivots with washers
anything that seems secure
EXCEPT 2 big wood screws!

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
Did it with pop riveter and little washers for the record, the snapped ones could just be bashed out.

Re: Accelerator pedal removal
No, the other rivet broke - and I fixed that and remembered I hadn't said it worked!
