I just changed mine out about a month ago. I believe there is a pin that has to be pulled out, but really can't remember for sure. Just get a mirror and flashlight and you should be able to see the mechanism that way. Hope this helps.

It is not that hard, promise. If you can get under there you will see spring that goes over the pedal arm. This spring locks onto the pin that holds the pedal on.
Unhook the spring and everything comes off.

I followed these directions - word of advise, get a mirror so you can see the back side of the pedal, it makes it a lot easier....
