The pedal assembly rebuild wasn't too terribly hard once it was out of the car, but getting to that point was pretty dang frustrating. There are two bolts that you have to remove from under the car, which are hiding under a skid tray - you have to jack the car up to get to them. I bought a long arm floor jack from Harbor Freight but it didn't get here in time, so I borrowed a jack from a friend. It wasn't a long reach though, so I couldn't jack up on any of the recommended points under the car. Ultimately I was able to jack up one side of the car, place jack stands under, and remove the skid tray and bolts. I'd say the pedal assembly in total was a good 5-6 hour project. I found some instructions online but Pelican is killing the hyperlink when I try to share it. Just Google "pedal cluster rebuild carrera 3.2" and the instructions will be on the first page of results.
Finally! Got it removed. Ready for some powder coating and bronze bushings.
I think I got lucky with the roll pin, but it came out without too much trouble. Once I got the pedals in a good position to hit it with a punch a few times it came out. The next hurdle was the clutch spring. Wayne's book says it's a two man job but I used a trick I saw someone else on Pelican use. Extend the spring with the pedal and then place washers (or quarters in my case) in the spring. When you release the spring with the pedal it pops right off. Took 3 minutes to do.
Fully disassembled.
I had the tray and both pedals powder coated. I screwed up though and didn't tell them not to coat where the brake rod connect to the brake pedal. Ended up having to use my dremel to grind all the coating off. Pain in the butt that could've been avoided if I paid more attention. Still, it all looks good.
The reassembly wasn't bad. I installed the bronze bushings and used a small amount of white lithium grease on each of them. Some people say that's not necessary because they're "self-oiling", but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Reinstalled in the car. I am loving the way the Rennline pedals look. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.
That's everything! Over the next few weeks I will get the rest of the sound deadening installed and then install an RS carpet kit from AppBiz. Will post more progress pics as I get more done.
