How do you remove clutch pedal ?

So I cam trying to replace my clutch master cylinder and get the clutch pedal out.

I have the pedal completely unbolted/unhooked and the clutch master is completely removed from the clutch pedal and for the life of me I cannot get either the pedal or the master out from under the dash ....

The FSM says to remove the steering shaft/unhook it rather and I see how this would give me the clearance to remove the pedal and then the master would fall out gracefully but ...... I have the bolt off of the steering shaft and I of course marked it with a sharpie to put it back the same way, but I cannot get it to come off, the shaft will not disconnect.

So yeah im fucking stuck like chuck

 

I removed and replaced mine without removing the shaft, just removed panels and twisted all kinda ways till it came out. Gen 1.

 

did you pull it out with the master attached ?

whici panel did you remove, I only took out the knee panel under steering wheel

When you do get it off, please write up how to!

 

yeah ... lol.... if i ever get it off, might have to burn this car

 

How did this end up going? I'm about to swap pedal assembly and master cylinder in my gen 2.
