I removed the pins on both my 06 and 08, using a small pair of needle nosed vice grip pliers, just twist and pull a couple of times and it pops right out.

This is pretty easy. I just used my hand to pull mine out. It just clicks into place.

Although I will say the new pedal I put in to match isn't as stable. Can't really notice it with shoes one, but I drive bare foot a lot (take the flip flops off) and i can feel the pedal moving.

mine fell out on its own a week after I bought the car. Made the elite engineering pedal upgrade a no-brainer!
