    Those look great!! Thank you all.

    Will disassemble the pedal cluster and decide which route to take depending on what I found.

    So I took the opportunity of being forced to be inside by Isaias to start the process of rebuilding my pedal cluster.
    Pedal cluster is out of the car. Was able to remove the roll pin using some persuasion.
    Now I can’t pull the clutch pedal off the cluster.
    Is there a special trick to get it off???

    In a word,,,,HEAT I clamp the clutch cable arm in the vice, then heat the clutch arm on the shaft, with the cable end clamped in the vise it lets me twist the pedal end as I heat it.

    Thank you all for the assistance. My 911 is back on the road and no more stuck break pedal.
    This is no the jewelry that you guys posted the link to above but I believe it fits well with my unrestored car and it now operates like a charm.
