Be warned that the larger roll pins can be a bear to remove. You'll also want to make sure that you have replacements on hand for reassembly.
I've only done this twice in the past, but found it to be a fairly straight forward job.
Good luck!
I did this on my 73 in a total of maybe 2 hours. I had my shop press the roll pins out for me. I did repaint everything before reassembly and some powder coat. It's not all that difficult. I used a guide bolt to hold the pedal in position while i put the new roll pin in.
I am doing this now. I seem to have the clutch cable & accerator cable twisted in the tunnel. any suggestions on how to attach to cluster w/o tangling? or which order to do it in

You need to pull the center carpeting up and make sure everything is straight. I think I had to loosen the clutch adjuster at the gearbox to get the cable connected up front then I retightened the cable at the back.
I think it is easier to connect the throttle first. The clutch cable exits its sheath pretty far forward, easy to look in the tunnel with a mirror and check its not wrapped around the throttle. If you prop the pedal all the way up you may not have to disconnect the gearbox end.Quote:

thanks for the info. guys
