Ebrake is pretty easy to disassemble and reassemble. Just take a picture so you know how it goes back.

I believe the throttle cable is part of the pedal. It unhooks underneath the car, near the side, around underneath the driver. It should just slide out through the feed tube when you remove the pedal.

Does the pedal need to be taken apart to get the cable out? or is there another trick that I am missing?

Slakker

Yes. Unhook cable underneath the car, disassemble pedal, and then it will all come out together.

I was able to dismantle the pedal and remove the cable. That allowed me to pull out the carpet which is all I was after. Didn't have to disconnect the cable from under the car.

For the ebrake, I was actually able to leave it in the car and pull it through a hole in the carpet.

THanks for the responses and advice.

Ok, cool. I know they are sold as a single assembly but I've never dismantled it.

Is there a trick to getting the gas pedal back together? I am having a hell of a time getting everything to align and click into place.

It seems like everything is in alignment, but there is still an 1/8 of an inch gap between the 2 halves and I can't get it to fully close.

I just found this thread as well... Brilliant. Thanks for the detailed instructions and photos.

This thread may be really old and here I am in 2021 amazed what a difference an hour's worth of work made!

once I had the two halves apart, I washed them thoroughly in my kitchen sink and then dried them with compressed air. I used the Napa silicone lube generously on all contact points, the pedal hinges as was as the throttle cam. Be sure to put lube on the sides of the pivot points.

Enjoy your smooth operation!!!
