I am looking for anyone that has replaced a brake pedal for advice. What are the steps to take to replace this. I don't want to take off more pieces than need be. Thanks for the help.

 

I asked a similar question awhile back and skokievtr responded with this. Hope it helps.
I've done it

Any ideas?

Remove cotter pin, disassemble, remove lock nut, cut off about 5mm (eliminates cotter pin hole), grind smooth for easy threading, slip on flat washer made from 3M grey non-slip peel n' stick tape to top of threads (acts like a crush-type lock washer), reassemble without oem lock nut & thread down all the way, safety wire, and you've dropped pedal 1/2"+ see pic I also pop-riveted a small, thin extension plate under the pedal because my adjustable pegs keeps my boot out farther. Even lowered 1" the peg does not drags at my pace with the rear raised -1/2" with the Penske ride height adjustment.
