NoVa help with Elite pedal
If anyone in the Alexandria area has done the Elite Engineering gas pedal install, and had no problems (and wouldn't mind doing another)
PM please. I just got the pedal today, and found I couldn't squeeze myself into position to reach the gas pedal. Damn near pulled my back out just trying to get back out

The instructions are on elite's page, not difficult, just an access problem for my bad back,etc.
I may try again when I'm fresh in the morning.

Whoo-Hooo! Got 'er done! It's a great piece and really makes heel and toe shifting smoother and easier.

I'm a little to far away to come help but I had some issues getting my body in there to do the gas pedal.
I bought a small C clamp. I placed a small socket over the end of the pin and used the clamp to press it out. It was very easy and took no time at all. It was worth the $4 i spent for the clamp.

My biggest problem was getting under there, too.
I managed to pull the pin out with a vice grips
Works great!
