Hi, sorry, that is completely incorrect.
The pedal assembly, in one big piece, comes out with the dash in place
even. It's tight, but I never remove the dash to replace a pedal assembly.
And it comes out, upward, in one big piece, both pedals intact, you never
touch that giant pin up there, etc.
The Bentley is not a 'how to' book very much. For fuel injection testing and
a few things like that, yes. But they don't tell you how to change brake
shoes, for example, I don't think. 'sometimes' they tell you a 'how to' step
by step, but that's not really even the intent of that book I don't think.

AFAIK, the pedal assembly for a manual transmission Vanagon can't be removed
from the vehicle without removing one of the pedals first; the space between
the fresh air duct and the front sheet metal isn't large enough for both
pedals (or the mounting bracket) to pass through.
The Bentley shows nothing useful, but the Haynes has a written procedure
for pulling the manual pedal assembly and it calls for unbolting the pedal
mounting bracket and pulling it up far enough to reach the circlip for the
pivot pin. then pushing the pin over enough to remove the clutch pedal
(after removing the return spring), then the rest of the assembly can be
pulled out of the top. This was the method I used when I repaired my clutch
pedal back in 2000.
If someone has an easier way, please give us details.
Thanks,

Subject: How to remove clutch pedal ???
I am converting an auto vanagon to a syncro and am trying to get the clutch
pedal out of my syncro donor but cant get it to come loose. 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.
Are there any other bolts that need to be removed?
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to access the top of the clutch pedal.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
