Don't know if this helps, but since you have the dash etc. off....

why not just pull the booster and clutch/brake pedal assembly as a unit?

IIRC, once you have all peripheral stuff removed, there are 4 - 13 mm
(head) bolts holding the "frame", booster, pedal cluster etc. to the
vehicle. Once assembly is loose, just wiggle it around and pull it up
out of its' home.

You can work on removing the pedal etc. on the bench. FWIW, it's worth
inspecting the condition of the hole where pin (that connects pedal to
clutch MC) passes through.

Here's some pics of how I repaired the worn out hole on my clutch
pedal (this was before I got my MIG!):

Hopefully the images work properly.

Cheers,

Neil.

I removed the dash, unbolted the clutch master cylinder, and unbolted the brake booster.  The Bentley only shows the lower portion of the pedal and the upper portion of the brake booster, not the middle part where they appear to be connected.
